P25-0236, 2207 Martin Avenue. Planning Commission <br />3 of 6 <br />while to the east, across Martin Avenue, lies land owned by the Alameda County Flood Control <br />and Water Conservation District (see Figure 1). <br /> <br />Figure 1: Aerial View of Vicinity <br /> <br /> <br />PROPOSED PROJECT <br />The applicant proposes to install six tennis court lights, each approximately 15 feet tall, around <br />an existing rear yard tennis court (Exhibit B). The lights would be placed directly adjacent to <br />the existing tennis court, with a side setback of approximately 6 feet from the northern property <br />line (adjacent residence) and a rear setback of approximately 33 feet. Each light fixture would <br />be downward-facing, equipped with anti-glare and an approximately 18-inch extension arm. <br />The light fixture models are proposed: three light fixtures along the northern property line, each <br />producing approximately 31,956 lumens, and three others producing approximately 37,424 <br />lumens, for a combined total of approximately 208,138 lumens. The three light fixtures closest <br />to the adjacent residence on the north side would also include shielding. Further, the project <br />proposes automated light timers. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br />Consistency with General Plan and Zoning Land Uses: <br />General Plan <br />Although General Plan policies and programs do not explicitly address sports courts or lighting, <br />at least three policies and programs address the need to retain the character of existing <br />neighborhoods and minimize intrusions. As conditioned, staff finds the Project would meet the <br />intent of the General Plan. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 85 of 323
