Lighting is reviewed by the City Planner. <br /> Per Section 1007.043(6)(d), no light source shall exceed 1.0 foot candle onto right of way <br /> or 0.4 foot candle onto adjacent property. <br /> It appears that lighting from P 1 and the southeastern-most W2 light may exceed 1.0 foot <br /> candle onto right of way. This will be reviewed by the City Planner. <br /> Light fixtures are down lit and cutoff as required by city code. <br /> Recycling <br /> A trash and recycling room is noted on the site plan. <br /> 8 <br />
