RE:
Lighting Code Exemption for Mall Lighting
DATE:
November 12, 2002
SUMMARY:
The City of Aspen Parks Department has been working with Rising Sun to increase
lighting on the downtown pedestrian mall, some of which is inconsistent with Section
26.575.150 of the Aspen Municipal Code, Outdoor Lighting. Specifically, uplighting
will be installed on some groupings of aspen trees and the code only allows for
uplighting on vegetation with dense canopies. Further, Parks is installing and
illuminating the Christmas lighting prior to November 15,2002 which is the date
Christmas lighting is permitted to be installed.
The Community Development Director may approve exemptions from Section
26.575.150 if there is demonstrable community benefit. City Council reviewed and
recommended approval of the request on November 11, 2002.
Community Development staff recommends approval ofthe requested exemption
from Section 26.575.150, Outdoor Lighting to aIlowf(jr IlpIighting of aspen trees on
the pedestrian mall and illumination of Christmas lighting prior to November 15,
2002.
