Planning <br />Commission reviewed the request and held a public hearing on October 20. Planning Commission voted <br />7-0 to recommend approval of extension of the timeframe for applicant to meet the conditions of approval <br />of Resolution No. 4845 to December 31,2005; and recommended on a vote of 6-0 approval of an <br />amendment of the existing CUP to allow for revisions of the approved lighting plan for the easterly parking <br />lot, to increase the lighting from four to twelve 25’ poles, each incorporating a double down-cast shoe-box- <br />style 1000-watt fixture. <br />Planning Commission discussed at some length the potential impacts to neighboring properties, the intent <br />of the lighting increases, and how this lighting relates to the approved uses for this site. The footcandle study <br />for the site shows that lighting within the site will remain within ES parking lot lighting standards, and the <br />footcandle level will reduce to 0.0 FC just outside the perimeter of the parking lot and well within the lot <br />boundaries. The shielding of the shoe-box fixtures will minimize any direct lighting impacts off-site. It was <br />demonstrated that the nearest residences are hundreds of feet distant and existing screening, topography <br />and buildings, as well as Highway 12 walls and bemis, will minimize the lighting impacts. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval per the Planning commission recommendation. A resolution reflecting the <br />Planning Commission recommendation is attached for adoption. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Adopt or amend the attached resolution.
