12180 KIRKHAM ROAD
APPLICANT: SYSCO FOOD SERVICE

Councilmember Rexford advised that she had previously disqualified herself on this issue
due to a potential conflict of interest relating to the location of this property in relation to her
own, but has confirmed that her property is over 500 feet away from this property and that
she is permitted to participate in consideration of this item.
City Manager Bowersox provided the staff report. This item was continued from the
February 8, 2005, City Council meeting to allow staff time to research effects of high-
pressure sodium lighting on operations of the Palomar Observatory. This is a request to
modify a Development Review Permit and a Lighting Exemption Permit to replace existing
low-pressure sodium light fixtures at the SYSCO business located at 12180 Kirkham Road
with high-pressure sodium light fixtures. The request is to promote pedestrian and vehicle
safety in the truck loading/staging area during nighttime operations.
Scott Kardell, Palomar Observatory, 35899 Canfield Road, presented a PowerPoint
presentation on light pollution in San Diego area and the effects of high-pressure sodium
lights. He was supportive of use of low-pressure sodium lights.
The following members of the public spoke in support of staff's recommendation to deny
the request according to findings in the proposed Resolution of Denial:
Kelly Hutchinson, 1125 Beeler Canyon Road, Poway
Dave Davis, 11019 Beeler Canyon Road
The following person spoke in opposition of the staff recommendation to deny:
Rich Friedlen, President and CEO of SYSCO, 12180 Kirkham Road, requested a field test
trial for the high-pressure sodium lights. Mr. Friedlen stated that the current lighting is a
safety hazard for the employees that work nights in the truck loading/staging area.

to the City for consideration. Deputy Mayor Emery said the door is not closed, but
applicant needs to prove that high-pressure sodium lights do not have a negative impact.
