Consistent with the redevelopment plan, the Val Air Ballroom PUD shall incorporate a variety of light fixtures ranging from parking lot lights and roadway fixtures to pedestrian pathway lights, as applicable. Included within section 6 of the Grand Avenue Redevelopment Plan are design specifications and requirements along with sketches and images of the intended lighting series. All lighting within the PUD area that is changed in the future shall abide by these standards and be consistent in character to that illustrated in the Grand Avenue Redevelopment Plan and the Val-Gate district's iconic design intent.
If changes are made to the existing parking lot exterior lighting, including a change to LED, a photometric plan must be submitted for review. During the review, the applicant must demonstrate how lighting will not adversely affect adjoining properties or patrons utilizing the public street system. Special care must be given to ensure excess light does not spill onto properties adjacent to, but not part of, the Val-Gate district.
The following general guidelines shall be in addition to the specific regulations stated within the Grand Avenue Redevelopment Plan regulations:
A. Streetlights: Unless otherwise provided, the developer of the Val Air Ballroom PUD shall pay the cost of streetlight installation adjacent to Ashworth Road as needed.
B. Parking Luminaries: Fixtures shall be of a design to direct light downward and shall not have bulbs which are exposed and extend below the frame of the light fixture. Said fixtures shall not exceed twenty-five feet (25') in height as measured from the ground to the top of the light structure. Fixtures used shall be consistent throughout the Val Air Ballroom PUD.
C. Building Lighting: No wall packs or floodlighting without shields to direct the light to its intended target are allowed. In addition to cut off fixtures, particular attention shall be given to eliminate hot spots and light glare. Architectural accent lighting in keeping with the design intent of the Val-Gate District Redevelopment Plan may be allowed if approved as part of the architectural design.
D. Pedestrian Pathways: Bollard or pole lighting may be implemented along pedestrian pathways. Pole lights shall not exceed fourteen feet (14') as measured from the ground to the top of the light fixture. (Ord. 2595, 1-2-2024)
