P24-0278, 2207 Martin Ave. Planning Commission <br />5 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 4: Existing Condition of Tennis Court Fencing and Vegetation (picture by applicant) <br /> <br />As required by item e) above, the applicant has submitted an ADR application for tennis court <br />lighting above eight feet. The applicant is proposing tennis court lighting that is consistent with <br />or less than industry standards (i.e. at a lower height and at lower illumination levels) for <br />recreational tennis courts. <br /> <br />Per lighting professionals such as LuxLogic and Sports Venue Calculator, the preferred <br />illumination level of the tennis court depends on the court's characteristics.1 Class I, Class II, <br />and Class III are the different levels of competition, with Class III generally consistent with <br />courts located on residential/recreational properties. Per recommended specifications of <br />lighting professionals for Class III facilities, the minimum foot-candle (fc) for recreational tennis <br />court lighting is 30fc. The applicant is proposing a maximum of 21fc at light pole s (see Exhibit <br />B). Furthermore, the height of poles is recommended to be at minimum approximately 20 feet <br />by industry practice, whereas the proposed lights would be installed at 15 feet. <br /> <br />The application materials submitted by the applicant include two photometric plans: one with <br />only glare shields, and the other with glare shields and spoke brackets. The applicant is <br />proposing the photometric plan with both mitigation measures of glare shields and spoke <br />brackets which reduces the spillover to the north adjacent residence to 0.1fc. Additionally, light <br />on the west residence property (across Dennis Drive) is also reduced to 0.1fc. To further <br />illustrate the photometric illustration, the applicant has provided a night rendering (see Exhibit <br />B and Figure 5 below). <br /> <br />1 Sports Venue Calculator, "LED Tennis Court Lighting Layout Design Guide," accessed May <br />2024, https://sportsvenuecalculator.com/knowledge/sports-field-lighting/led-tennis-court-lighting-layout-design-guide/; <br />LuxLogic Lighting, "Tennis Court Lighting," accessed May 2024, https://www.luxlogiclighting.com/pages/tennis-court- <br />lighting.
