Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background
The Town Council issued a Statement of Direction (SOD) for the Hillside Code Update on June 22, 2017. Regarding the topic of lighting standards on hillside properties, the SOD identifies that the Planning Commission must only evaluate the hillside lighting standards to address Kelvin requirements, adding Lux as another light measurement, and extend the holiday lighting limitation to start on October 15th.
DISCUSSION/FACTS
During the course of the Commission review of the Hillside Code Update, the lighting section of the draft ordinance has been reorganized to be user friendly and expanded to update lighting options and standards. The lighting section of draft code addresses items such as lighting for outdoor living areas, allowing different types of fixtures at the main entry of the house, updating the lighting standards for walkways and driveways, and addressing water feature lights (such as pools and fountains).
The SOD states that at any time during the review process, the Planning Commission may request clarification and/or expansion of this Statement of Direction based on additional information that has evolved. Staff will present the scope of the proposed/draft changes to hillside lighting.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
