Section F: Public Realm Exterior Lighting Types Pedestrian Lighting—For safety, security and for aesthetics, pedestrian lighting is an important aspects of the Esplanade and associated spaces. Illuminated bollards and footpath lights will be used to illuminate the ground plane. Where possible, use either recessed, wall mounted, or free standing bollard light fixtures that keep the light low to illuminate sidewalks and pathways. Inset stairway and stair step lights are required on all stairs. Pole mounted pedestrian lights, if needed shall be 12' — 14' in height with light focused downward and shielded from the night sky and from residences. Pole mounted pedestrian lights may occur land side of the Esplanade at larger plaza's and terraces that overlap into the Esplanade Transition Zone. They also may be used at marina service and marina commercial areas. Accessories may include banner arms and baskets. The height of the pole mounted lights is limited due to glare and the impacts on views. Bollard lights may occur at wide pedestrian ways adjacent to roadways and parking, for pedestrian safety, way findings, and ornamentation. Bollard lights serving a pedestrian street crossing control functions may be connected by chains. Other pedestrian illumination may include wall mounted fixtures on buildings bordering sidewalks. These could double to illuminate flower beds/planters as well. Special lights may be used as a distinctive way finding element at the Esplanade Vistas. Marina Access_Lighting — Lighting for accessing the Marina will be of a higher illumination level, especially at dock access points. These fixtures may be integrated into the access structure. Marina Parking Lighting — Lighting for marina parking lots shall be the same fixtures to match the pedestrian lights. If pole mounted, the height of the poles shall be minimized as much as possible and, if necessary, a higher wattage bulb shall be used. Lighting levels must meet local requirements, dark sky requirements, and IESNA standards. Accent Lighting — Accent lighting will be used to emphasize special features such as fountains, sculpture wall niches, planters, or trees for decorative effects along the Esplanade. Fixtures shall be inconspicuous and durable. Accent lights along the waterside of the Esplanade should integrate with railings, be recessed in walls or steps for pedestrian safety and way finding. Small scale accent lights can serve for way finding or be used themselves as special design elements. Accent lights may also serve multi-purposes where possible. They may also be used for illumination of signage. Building Lighting — Building mounted lighting will be used to light walkways, terraces, and plazas in appropriate areas. Building lighting shall be designed to cast downward and be shielded to minimize glare in areas where it affects the Esplanade. Because building lights may be turned off, building lighting shall not be depended on exclusively for illuminating the Esplanade walkway and access points. In commercial areas it enhances retail and restaurants to have spillover light. These areas should cast light from windows onto the walkways for a distance of 10' from the building. Special Event Lighting — Lighting used for special events along the Esplanade may include decorative lighting for holidays and Performance Venue events. This lighting shall be temporary only and used for the duration of the special event. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -74-
