5 III. Project Overview Herbert Hoover High School Track & Field Lighting Concept

6 existing track & field

7 30 foot candles field practice 10 foot candles track practice City Requirements at property line School District requirements Neighbors comfort level light level design considerations

8 View of field from the bleachers Light spill on street Track access for pole/lamp maintenance Underground utilities Retaining wall footings location considerations

9 4 pole lighting concept

10 4 pole lighting concept

11 unobstructed field views 4 pole lighting concept

12 Higher poles; light fixtures more horizontal orientation, less light spill beyond the field Lower poles; light fixtures more vertical orientation, increased perception of glare 90 high poles are optimum pole height considerations

13 90 high pole

14 90 high pole

15 30 foot candles = 8 lamps per pole

16 Light levels set-up and controlled online System has up to 7 zones with pre-set light levels Administrator controls zone set-up & light levels User groups have access only to preset zones controls

22 IV. CEQA Overview Initial Study/Negative Declaration (ND) prepared to address potential environmental impacts of the proposed project Notice of Intent to adopt the ND was published June 4, 2012 Public review period for ND is June 4, 2012 July 5, 2012 All written comments due to District by July 5, 2012, no oral comments will be accepted

23 IV. CEQA Overview, continued All projects within the State of California are required to undergo environmental review to determine the environmental impacts associated with implementation of the project Informs the public and decision makers about the project and about the potential environmental impacts Identifies feasible ways to avoid or reduce potential impacts Discloses any significant and unavoidable impacts Provides an opportunity for the public and local/state agencies to comment on the environmental issues

24 IV. CEQA Overview, continued An ND prepared when the initial study has identified potentially significant effects, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment (CCR 15070(b))

25 Environmental Issue Areas Addressed in the Negative Declaration 1. Aesthetics 10. Land Use and Planning 2. Agricultural Resources 11. Mineral Resources 3. Air Quality 12. Noise 4. Biological Resources 13. Population and Housing 5. Climate Change 14. Public Services 6. Cultural Resources 15. Recreation and Parks 7. Geology/Soils 16. Transportation/Traffic 8. Hazards & Hazardous Materials 17. Utilities and Service Systems 9. Hydrology and Water Quality

26 Light and Glare Analysis The light poles would be equipped with eight luminaires, all directed inward and downward onto the playing field and walkway surfaces. Typical Light Levels Bright and sunny day: 3,000 fc Professional baseball-field lighting: 300 fc Office: 50 to 75 fc Residential lighting at night: 7 to 10 fc Main road junction street lighting: 2.5 to 3.0 fc Bright moonlight: 0.1 fc

27 Light and Glare Analysis Light levels at off-site receptors with full illumination: Western property line (adjacent campus) Light levels of 1.70 fc Residential uses on Olmstead Drive (at property Line) Light levels of 2.24 fc Green screen would further diffuse light levels

28 Light Levels at Western Property Line

29 Light Levels on Olmstead Drive
