AGENDA TITLE:
Title
Consideration of a Minor Special Use Permit Amendment
Mountain Shadows Resort (SUP 17-02). 5445 E Lincoln Drive.
Body
REQUEST:
The Mountain Shadows Resort SUP stipulates that all exterior lighting shall comply with the Special Use Permit Guidelines and must be submitted for review by the Town Manager. However, one of the proposed light fixtures on the resort building exceeds the height limit. Town Code limits accent building lights to a height of 3' tall and the applicant is requesting an amendment to their SUP to allow for the use of building accent lights at a height of 24' tall.
Accent light fixtures will be placed on the resort building. The light fixtures will be placed on 16 I-beams/columns of the east guest room wing and are located between the second and third floor. The light fixtures are directional lights that direct light both upward and downward, accenting the columns of the resort building. The fixtures are concealed behind opaque metal housing panels and have an output of 0.01 foot candles measured at the property line. A translucent colored panel will be placed between the fixture housing panel and the roof overhang/canopy in order to provide a softer light.
