6.18 are properly adjusted to not produce glare. Also, the hours of lighting operation shall be Page 2 limited to evening business hours, and shall be shut off after the close of performances. In reviewing the lighting proposal for the Fox Theatre Block, the ARC considered the overall lighting environmental on the different streetscapes. Building lighting includes the existing Fox and Little Fox marquee signs, and previously approved, but not yet installed, historically appropriate sconces and pendant lights at each new entrance alcove on three facades. The applicant also indicates that the Fox Theatre's central tower feature on Broadway was historically lit from within, and he intends to reestablish this in the future. The applicant proposed to the ARC that all future tenant signage will be discrete and backlit, and located in between the up-lit portions of the building, The context for the lighting environment from the new streetscape improvements will include up-lit Palm trees on Broadway and Middlefield; up-lit Cherry trees on Broadway; and down-light from the proposed new pedestrian scaled street lights on Middlefield and Broadway. No streetscape changes are proposed on this portion of Hamilton Street at this time. The ARC determined that these elements would create an enhanced pedestrian experience with "layers" of lighting that will complement both the City's improvements and this important historic building. The Encroachment Permit will allow up to 30 up-light fixtures and associated conduits, transformers, and other related equipment. The mechanical portions of the fixtures and equipment will be completely concealed within the sidewalk and/or adjacent building, The property owner is responsible for all construction, maintenance, removal, and replacement costs for this encroachment. The fixtures will be connected to the property's power supply and will not be supplied with City funded power sources. The City reserves the right to revoke this encroachment permit for any reason in the future. Alternative Do not grant the encroachment permit, and require that the applicant either forgo lighting the building, or provide building lighting through another method, such as fayade or soffit mounted fixtures. Fiscal Impact There will be no fiscal impacts to the City. The property owner will be fully responsible for removing the encroachment in the event that the City requires overhead access to the .ght-of-way in this rea. ~ Chu Chang, P.E.
