§ 105-18. Design submittal and approval requirements.

The design for all outdoor lighting installations shall be reviewed by the Township of Lower Providence, or its duly appointed representative, for conformance with this chapter. When applicable, the required design submittal items shall be included with the land development or site plan submittal pursuant to the issuance of a building/zoning permit. In all cases, the Township of Lower Providence, or its duly appointed representative, prior to issuance of a building/zoning permit and prior to construction of the outdoor lighting installation shall approve the outdoor lighting design. The required design submittal items are as follows:

A. 

Site plan, drawn to scale of one inch equal to 50 feet (maximum), indicating the following:

(1) 

The zoning district and use of the property.

(2) 

The property lines of the property.

(3) 

The zoning district(s) and uses of the adjoining properties.

(4) 

Public roadways and rights-of-way on or adjoining the property.

(5) 

The principal buildings and structures on the property.

(6) 

The areas or elements to be illuminated on the property.

(7) 

The proposed layout of the outdoor lighting installation on the property, including but not limited to all pole-mounted luminaires, bollard- or pedestal-mounted luminaires, canopy-mounted luminaires, and luminaires mounted on the exterior of buildings and structures. Identify each luminaire by a type designation.

(8) 

The results of the lighting design superimposed on the site plan. This may be in the form of isofootcandle diagrams or isolux diagrams, drawn to scale with the value of contours labeled or indicated with point-by-point values. In either case, the information presented shall be of sufficient quantity and detail to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

(9) 

The lighting design information required in Subsection B below.

B. 

Required lighting design information:

(1) 

The total light loss factor(s) used in the calculations to determine maintained illuminance values.

(2) 

The maximum maintained illuminance value at grade within the functional area being illuminated (in horizontal footcandles or horizontal lux).

(3) 

The average maintained illuminance value at grade of the functional area being illuminated (in horizontal footcandles or horizontal lux).

(4) 

The maximum maintained illuminance values at grade along all property lines (in horizontal footcandles or horizontal lux).

C. 

Required luminaire information:

(1) 

A luminaire (light fixture) schedule of all luminaires used for the outdoor lighting installation. Each luminaire type shall be indicated by a type designation which correlates with those indicated on the site plan. The luminaire schedule may be indicated on the site plan or submitted separately. The luminaire schedule shall include the following information for each luminaire type: description of luminaire, mounting configuration and height, IES candlepower distribution classification (cutoff, semi-cutoff, or non-cutoff), IES lateral light distribution if applicable (Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, or Type V), lamp type, lamp wattage, and lamp initial lumens.

(2) 

Manufacturer's product data sheets (catalog cuts) for each luminaire type.

(3) 

Manufacturer's photometric report (certified to IES standards) for each luminaire type. The photometric report shall clearly indicate the cutoff classification of the luminaire.
