DATE: November 27, 1989 (CC meeting of December 6, 1989)
SUBJECT: TOPA LIGHTING (PD -1064)
Background
Recently, there has been a complaint from a property owner who resides
above and to the south of the Topa Management project regarding the
intensity of the lighting in the parluing lot. Staff has discussed this
issue with Susan Weintraub, Development Manager of the project. She
indicated that the matter will be rectified so as to not create a problem
for the neighbors. During the time frame of the complaint, some of the
globes from the lights were blown off dur ng the strong winds, this
resulted in additional light glare. The globes will be replaced as soon as
possible. Mrs. Weintraub also stated that ff the parking lot area lighting
continues to create a problem for the surrotind.ing property owners; other
measures to rectify the problem will be taken.
Ms. Weintraub indicated a willingness Lo conntinue to resolve any future
concerns regarding lighting on the proj(!ct. site.
Recommendation
Direct staff to continue working with Topn Management as to resolve
lighting issues should the matter need lnrther corrective action.

Re: Gateway Plaza
Dear Pat:
This letter is a follow -up to your office concern about
too much light in the rear parking lot of our project at
night. The rear of our project has eleven light poles
(including the one by the driveway entrance on Spring
Road). Of these eleven lights, five are night lights.
Currently, all pole lights are on until 10:00 p.m. After
10:00 p.m., only the five night lights remain on.
Exterior building lights remain on until 12:00 p.m.
Building lights are left on until that hour since
restaurant patrons are on site.
Please note that parking lot and building lighting
standards are requirements of the sheriff's department
and Community Development Department. The sheriff's
department made us add lights to our original plans in
order to bring the lighting level to acceptable
standards.
As you recall, we originally proposed a standard box
lighting fixture for the parking lot which is typical of
most shopping centers. These light poles were rejected
by you and we were required to install a more decorative
fixture. The number of fixtures required was calculated
based on the City's requirement that we maintain a
minimum of one -foot candle illumination on our property.
Our electrical contractor has told us that we are unable
to change just the bulb out on the existing fixtures.
The entire fixture (not the pole) would have to be
changed out to accommodate a smaller wattage light bulb.
