• • • Types of Lighting Applications Architectural, Accent lighting of architectural features is encouraged to highlight building massing and rhythm and enhance the pedestrian environment. Accent lighting shall not be a source ofglare, reflected glare, or excessive light, especially when viewed from residences and streets, walkways or open spaces. The following specific standards apply. BuildrngEntries. Building entries with high activity levels shall be illuminated. Appropriate treatments include: bathing entry surfaces and doorways with light, allowing the building interior light to glow through glazing or using decorative lighting fixtures to announce entries. ServiceAreas. Building-mounted downlight fixtures, in combinationwithpole fixtures, are preferred for the illumination of building service areas. Such fixtures do not cause glare or light leakage beyond the service areas. Landscaped Frontages. Regular uplighting of walls or other structures in Landscaped Frontages shall occur throughout the Town Center and must be coordinated to create a consistent and dramatic effect. Landscaping and Furnishing. Uplighting is recommended for all landscaping and furnishings (in both public and private areas) that require accenting (such as specimen trees and shrubs and sculptural features). Specific areas indude streets, parks, and plazas. Landscaped Walkways Landscaped Walkways and otherpedestrianpaths— unless adjacent to abuilding that provides adequate lighting —shall be lit by pole or bollard type fixtures that are human- scale, typically not to exceed 16 feet or 4 feet in height, respectively. However, lighting must be at least 3 feet in height in order to be visible in deep snow drifts or snow banks. SeatingAreas. Where intimate environments are desired (e.g. seating areas in parks and plazas, and some pedestrian walkways), light bollards and other forms of indirect illumination are appropriate. Bollards Lighting bollards are recommended for illuminating pedestrian walkways, parks and plazas. Lighting bollards must have a black metal finish. Bollards must have a diameter of approximately 8 inches and a height of at least 3 feet, to avoid being obstructed by snow. Around the light source near the top of the bollard, horizontal louvers must be used to stylistically complement the luminares and direct light downward. Concrete finishes shall not be used for lighting bollards. Submittal Requirements and Design Review A lighting plan prepared by a qualified lighting consultant shall be submitted for design review All lighting and their methods of installation shall be reviewed and approved by the City.
