The following measures are proposed to prevent the potential for adverse light and glare impacts on the outlying residential neighborhoods: · All lighted fields are located at least 800 feet east of the nearest residential neighborhood to provide a substantial buffer between the uses and to achieve compliance with the requirements of the "Initiative to Save Our Community Park." · Highly effective light cut-off shields and luminaries are proposed to ensure minimal "spill light." Please refer to page 10 of the PUD development plan package and to the Draft Negative Declaration for technical details. In addition to baseball field lighting, low-profile pedestrian lighting is planned along the primary park paths to help ensure safety and security for users. Street lighting poles and fixtures that match the existing Bemal Property standards are proposed along the extension of Pleasanton Avenue. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION REVIEW On April 29, 2003, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed four alternative plans for the 13-acre Project area that had been developed by the Community Park Task Force. After consideration of the various phasing options, the Commission approved the alternative that included two lighted baseball fields, one unlighted informal baseball field, an access road and other related infrastructure, parking, restrooms, and tot lot facilities for an estimated design and construction cost of approximately $4.3 million. On December 9, 2004, staff and consultants presented a somewhat updated plan to the Parks and Recreation Commission. After receiving public comments, the Commission recommended approval, subject to minor modifications that have since been integrated into the Plan that is now before the Council. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW The Planning Commission reviewed the Project PUD development plans and Draft Negative Declaration on June 22, 2005. No comments were received during thc public comment portion of the heating. The Commission unanimously recommended that the Council grant the Negative Declaration for the project and approve the PUD development plans, subject to three condition changes intended to provide greater clarity regarding archaeological and outdoor lighting requirements, and to require that all Project area parking be permanently paved. Each of these changes are included in attached Draft Resolution of PUD approval (Conditions 5, 6 and 11). SR 05:195 Page 7
