SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment ( ZOA 86-03 ) : A city-
initiated request to amend and establish certain
sections of the City of Poway ' s Zoning Development
Code related to low pressure sodium lighting for
outdoor fixtures .
ABSTRACT
As a result of the increasing amount of light pollution in the
area of the Mount Palomar Observatory, the surrounding government
agencies have been contacted by the California Institute of
Technology to discuss measures to reduce light pollution within
each jurisdiction. Staff is proposing modifications to sections
of the Zoning Development Code in response to their request.
BACKGROUND
Mr . Robert Brucato from the California Institute of Technology,
representing the office of the Director of Palomar Observatory,
has been in contact with the various municipal governments that
surround the Palomar Observatory to discuss the issue of light
pollution. Mr . Brucato indicated that although street lights are
the largest single class of outdoor lights, they constitute only
25 to 35 percent of the total light pollution problem. The
remainder of the sky glow comes from other sources. It was his
opinion that if these unrestricted sources of light pollution
remain unchecked, the Hale Observatory and other local facilities
will become severely handicapped or rendered useless. Most
local governments have addressed the street light issue by
adopting ordinances that require low pressure sodium lighting for
all new street lights. The California Institute of Technology
believes now is the time to consider the larger part of the light
pollution problem. Because of Poway ' s proximity to the Palomar
` Observatory, it is important that all reasonable steps be taken //

toward minimizing all large, unchecked sources of light pollution .
To this end, Staff has evaluated the current lighting standards as
stipulated in the City ' s Zoning Development Code and has suggested
additional requirements to comply with the Mt. Palomar Observatory
needs .
ANALYSIS
The City' s Zoning Ordinance currently requires that all parking lot
and other exterior lighting be low pressure sodium in commercial
and manufacturing zones ; if other types of lighting are used, they
must be supplemented with a secondary low pressure sodium lighting
system which would serve as security level lighting, and which
would be the sole source of lighting during the non-operating hours
of each business. All light sources must also be shielded so that
the light is directed away from streets or adjoining properties ,
and should be integrated with the architecture of the building.
Further, the intensity of light at the boundary of any commercial
or manufacturing zone must not exceed 75-foot lamberts from a
source of reflected light.
Although the City' s requirements do reduce light pollution, speci-
fic additional measures are necessary to meet the observatory' s
requirements . It is recommended that the following additional
measures be considered:
1 . Require all illuminated advertising signs to be turned off
between 11 p.m. and sunrise, unless the business is
open after 11 p.m. ;
2 . Prohibit outside illumination of buildings and/or land-
scaping for aesthetic or decorative purposes between
11 p .m. and sunrise;
3 . . Prohibit the illumination of public or private recrea-
tional facilities between 11 p.m. and sunrise, except as
needed for security/safety purposes ;
4 . Prohibit the operation of searchlights for advertising
purposes ;
5 . Require that automatic timers be installed with each new
and renovated lighting system; and
6 . Require all outdoor light fixtures hereafter installed or
maintained upon private property within commercial, manu-
facturing, or multiple-family residential zones to be low-
pressure sodium and to be turned off between 11 p.m. and
sunrise, except those necessary for security/safety pur-
poses to illuminate walkways or parking lots , or where
commercial or manufacturing uses continue after 11 p.m.

A further analysis of this proposal indicates that most of the
existing residential, commercial, and manufacturing uses are in
general compliance with the suggested regulations . Those activi-
ties or uses not in compliance are the illuminated business signs
that remain on throughout the night and the use of other than low
pressure sodium lights that illuminate parking lots and/or automo-
bile dealerships. Both the City and County of San Diego have
adopted similar lighting ordinances in an effort to reduce addi-
tional sources of light pollution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment will not result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts . The issuance of a
Negative Declaration is recommended.
FINDINGS
The proposed modifications are consistent with the intent and pur-
pose of the General Plan and Zoning Development Code, and the
requirements of the California Government Health and Safety Codes .
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed Zoning
Development Code amendments, issue a Negative Declaration, and set
the second reading for September 16, 1986 .
