will exceed the .01 foot candle level due to their proximity to the northern and western boundary lines. As conditioned, all of the projects are required to adhere to the City's green building ordinance. A variety of green building points are available and choosing LEED's light spillover point is an option available to each developer. The final green building checklists will be reviewed as part of each building permit submittal. The multi - family green point checklist (from Build It Green) does not have a specific light pollution point available; however, CLC could choose to implement the LEED standard and receive an "innovation" point. Regarding off -site light spillover, it is anticipated that the auto mall's parking lot and the parks (e.g., the tennis courts) at Staples Ranch will generate the most visible exterior lighting on the Staples Ranch project site. To address this matter, the mitigations for Staples Ranch include several mitigations related to light pollution and energy including: • Max. 14' tall light standards at the auto mall (adjacent to CLC) • Max. 25' tall light standards at the auto mall (not adjacent to CLC) • Exterior lighting levels at the auto mall are required to be reduced to 10 foot candles during non - operational hours • All interior lights are required to be turned off during non - operational evening hours, with the exception of lighting needed for security reasons • Max. of 1.0 foot candle of light spillover from lighting at the parks • Max. of 1.0 foot candle of light spillover from lighting at the auto mall (on CLC's site) • Energy efficient lamp technologies shall be incorporated wherever possible Regarding Hendrick Automotive, according to the EIR analysis, its lighting proposal would be deemed a "low to medium" illumination level for an auto mall as defined by the Illuminating Society of Engineers. Hendrick proposes 24' tall light standards throughout the site which are similar to the 25' tall light standard height limit allowed in Hacienda Business Park. Each light standard will have 1 or 2 head lamps which are proposed to be metal halide which provides a white light source. Metal halide lamps are typically used when the viewing of color (in this case the color of cars) is important. The maximum foot candle proposed in Hendrick's Conceptual Lighting Plan is approximately 27.8. As a comparison, at the existing tennis complex on the corner of Hopyard and Valley Avenues, the foot candle level on the courts is at least 30 foot candles at all points and is up to approximately 45 foot candles by the light standards. According to the Conceptual Lighting Plan, the foot candles around the perimeter of the project site will range from 0 to 23 foot candles. The Conceptual Lighting Plan is consistent with the approved environmental documents. In addition to the above, the MMRP requires that the auto mall's lighting be designed to protect surrounding uses from spillover light and glare. Specifically, the lighting spillover must not exceed 1.0 foot - candle at the CLC development. Page 4 of 5
