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