The Village Of Ponderosa will have a family of light fixtures ranging from parking lot lights and roadway fixtures to pathway lights. Included within the site amenities are sketches and images of the intended lighting series (see appendix I of the exhibits packet on file in the city). The following general guidelines shall be in addition to the specific regulations stated within any Village Of Ponderosa lighting regulations:
A. Streetlights: In order to maintain a consistent visual aesthetic throughout the Village Of Ponderosa development, along all public roadways a Kim Archetype fixture (#33-2751 (150w) or comparable fixture acceptable to the city) black in color shall be used. The height, spacing, light levels and uniformity coefficients of streetlights along public streets shall be in accordance with the city's street lighting standards. Streetlights along private streets shall be the Spectra fixture by architecture area lighting or comparable fixture acceptable to the director of development services. The private lights shall be a maximum of twenty five feet (25') in height as measured from the ground to the top of the fixture. Due to the nonstandard color and type of private street lighting fixtures to be used, the developer shall be responsible for the financial cost, procurement, and installation of replacement parts and wiring for fixtures. Typical paint maintenance of all fixtures shall be the responsibility of the development with the approval of the city of West Des Moines when painting public streetlight poles and signposts.
B. Parking Luminaries: Fixtures used within off street parking areas shall be consistent with those illustrated in the appendix of the exhibits packet. Said fixtures shall be black or tones of gray in color and shall not exceed twenty five feet (25') in height as measured from the ground to the top of the light structure.
C. Photometric Plan: No wall packs, or floodlighting without shields to direct the light to its intended target are allowed. In addition to cutoff fixtures, particular attention shall be given to eliminate hot spots and light glare. To achieve this, additional measures may include, but are not limited to, lowering parking lot light levels after business hours, turning off lights not necessary for security purposes, and use of landscaping for light screening/blockage. As a part of the review of each site plan, a photometric plan must be submitted. During the review, the applicant must demonstrate how lighting will not adversely affect adjoining properties.
D. Residential Areas: Floodlighting in residential areas should be limited to emergency lighting and shall be controlled to prevent the frequent tripping of the light by typical pedestrian and animal movements so as to not disturb neighbors. (Ord. 2093, 6-1-2015)
