1 Life Time Fitness Variance ~ z < u ~ ~ ~ ~ < < ~ < Q ~ ~ ~ 7JJ PC DATE: 09/07/04 [I] CC DATE: 09/27/04 CITY OF CHANHASSEN REVIEW DEADLINE: 10/08/04 CASE #: 04-22 BY: REG STAFF REPORT PROPOSAL: Request for a variance from the lighting standards to permit up-lighting of the buildings. LOCATION: Southeast comer of Highways 5 and 41 Lot 1, Block 1, Life Time Fitness APPLICANT: Life Time Fitness 6442 City West Parkway Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (952) 947-0000 PRESENT ZONING: Planned Unit Development, PUD 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Office/Industrial ACREAGE: 22.18 acres DENSITY: NA SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a variance from the City's light ordinance to permit the up-lighting of the buildings within the Life Time Fitness Center campus. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established standards. This is a quasi judicial decision. Location Map Lifetime Fitness SE Corner of Highway 5 and Highway 41 City of Chanhassen Planning Case No. 04-22 Boulevard State Hwy 5 Arboretum Boule Subject Property Coulter 8 leva¡d I cõ" ::T :;:: PJ '< ~ Planning Commission Lifetime Fitness Center Case No. 04-22 September 7, 2004 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY The developer is proposing the use of up-lighting on the buildings within the development. City code prohibits lighting directed skyward except for lighting illuminating the United States of America Flag. Since this variance relates directly to a site plan, the Planning Commission is acting in an advisory role to the City Council for the variance request. Life Time Fitness currently has uplighting only on their prototype building. None of the local fitness centers have this lighting. BACKGROUND On August 9,2004, the Chanhassen City Council approved the site plan for the Life Time Fitness Campus. As part of their plans, the applicant proposed the use of up-lighting to highlight the building. However, a variance for the lighting was never noticed so the City could not formally act on the request. In response to residents' concern that many of our outdoor light fixtures are unnecessary and obtrusive, the City revised the lighting ordinance to try and reduce the amount of lighting in the nighttime sky. The parking lot lighting standards were revised by ordinance number 290 on February 22, 1999, to limit parking lot lighting pole height to 30 feet and requiring 90 degree or less cutoff angles on the light fixtures. Lighting directed skyward for commercial and industrial buildings was prohibited by Ordinance Number 377 on May 24, 2004. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Section 20-913, Lighting (e) Lighting shall not be directed skyward except for lighting designed for illuminating the United States of America Flag. DISCUSSION The development site is located to the east of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and west of Memorial Park, a 100-acre open space assembled by the City to provide permanent open space. This area does not generate light or create nighttime sky illumination. As the City continues to develop, more and more light will spill in to the evening sky so it is important to regulate and limit the amount of lighting directed skyward. Lighting of the site, directed skyward, could create additional night sky illumination that may negatively impact the neighborhood and community. "Decorative lighting of building exteriors, fountains, landscaping, bridges, statuary and other man-made and occasionally natural features is common, especially in large cities on large landmark structures. ... Many of the most common applications such as building floodlighting can be effectively accomplished using down-directed and fully shielded luminaires, but others are very difficult to light in this fashion and will inevitably lead to substantial proportions of light emanating into the sky. Internally illuminated decorations are inherently unshielded, and direct at least 50% of the emitted light directly into the sky. Planning Commission Lifetime Fitness Center Case No. 04-22 September 7, 2004 Page 3 To a limited degree, and when done well, decorative lighting can be attractive and effectively showcase distinctive architecture or community features. The illumination of building exteriors is however more often used as an advertising vehicle, effectively converting entire buildings into signs that are not regulated by the local sign codes. Common practice for building floodlighting uses up-directed luminaires that project a large proportion of their light directly into the sky. This approach should be strongly discouraged, and the USA Pattern Code makes extensive lighting of this type difficult by applying strict limits on the amount of unshielded lighting allowed. Luminaires mounted at the top of the wall or roof to be illuminated and directed downward are effective and will minimize uplight." - Outdoor Lif.?htinf.? Code Handbook, Version 1.14, December 2000/September 2002, International Dark Sky Association Outdoor Lif.?htinf.? Manual for Vennont Municipalities - This manual reviews all aspects of outdoor lighting, rather than simply developing guidelines. It provides a good background for communities to prepare or draft an outdoor lighting ordinance. The manual states that a community can encourage appropriate lighting through the following planning tools: comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, lighting districts (based on use), design review and public works specifications. A community can also regulate lighting through the review of a lighting plan which should be submitted at the time of site plan review. They suggest that lighting be ultimately regulated through a zoning permit. The manual states that communities should review the following for a new project: 1. Light levels and distribution: "Light levels should be appropriate for the proposed use of the site...The applicant should be aware of the maximum, minimum, and average light levels that will be generated." 2. Pole Heights: "Pole heights should be compatible with the scale of the surrounding architecture and the scale of the site. Lights on 25 to 30-foot poles create a high 'ceiling' that shapes an outdoor space at night, giving it a grand scale.. .Lights on lower poles (10-18 feet) create a more intimately lighted space that is comfortable for pedestrians... Very low (42- inch) poles, called bollards, are often used for gardens and walkways." 3. Classification of Luminaries: a. Cut-Off Fixtures: "This type of fixture is the most effective in controlling glare and skyglow. Cut-off fixtures control glare by directing light well below the horizontal." b. Semi-Cut-Off Fixtures: "Because the lamp is only partially shielded, minimal glare control is provided." c. Non-Cut-Off Fixtures: "Some luminaries in the non-cut-off category are designed to be decorative or historic...If the luminance is low enough, the effect of glare will be minimal." d. Floodlights: "Floodlights are designed to create a control beam of light.. .Because they are installed on an angle and usually use high wattage lamps they have a very high capacity to create glare." The Chanhassen City Code addresses pole height, which is limited to 30 feet, the requirement for cut-off fixtures, which limits the cut-off to 90 degrees or less, and glare. Additionally, the Chanhassen City Code prohibits directing lighting skyward. The site is sufficiently illuminated to Planning Commission Lifetime Fitness Center Case No. 04-22 September 7, 2004 Page 4 highlight the building. Additionally, the architect is using down-lighting to highlight the building. The city lighting standards require that lighting be directed downward to reduce glare and limit the amount of night sky illumination. The proposed development can be illuminated following the city's lighting standards. The "Z" fixture has an adjustable pivot point that allows the fixture to be adjusted to any angle. The fixture is typically adjusted after installation to maximize lighting effect and minimize any wasted light beyond the building face. This would not require moving the fixture away from building into the landscaping and works well at its current location. The fixtures are located between windows along the front of the building only and are directed at the masonry portions of the facade which have a negligible reflectance. Low levels of light at the perimeter of the light cone do cross over to the windows which along with being tinted, have a glare-reducing treatment. The applicant feels the accent lighting will bring out the character of the building materials at night without creating negative light pollution. The applicant has presented a schematic showing the proposed ground lighting and the vertical photometric calculations. While the applicant's proposal appears to limit the amount of up lighting, there still will be some spillover and reflected light directed skyward. If the lighting variance is approved, staff recommends that the applicant direct the light lower on the building such that the cone of projected light does not reach the top of the building. However, staff believes that decorative lighting should be directed downward as permitted by the code. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends denial of the variance to permit lighting directed skyward in the Life Time Fitness development."

Public Hearing Notice and Mailing List g:\plan\2004 planning cases\04-22 - lifetime fitness center\staff report Itf light variance.doc CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATION INRE: Application of Life Time Fitness Corporation for a variance to permit lighting directed skyward to architecturally highlight the buildings. On September 7,2004, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly schedule meeting to consider the application of Alliant Engineering, Inc. and Life Time Fitness Corporation for a variance for the property located at the southeast comer of TH 5 and TH 41, Lot 1, Block 1, Life Time Fitness to permit up-lighting of the buildings. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed amendment and site plan with variance was preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Planned Unit Development, PUD. 2. The property is guided by the Land Use Plan for office/industrial uses. 3. The legal description of the property is: Lot 1, Block 1, Life Time Fitness. 4. The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council shall not grant a variance to lighting standards unless they find the following facts: a. The literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue hardship means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical surroundings, shape or topography. Finding: The site is sufficiently illuminated to highlight the building. The architect is using down-lighting to highlight the building in addition to the up-lighting. There is no undue hardship in lighting the exterior of the buildings. b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. Fnding: The city lighting standards require that lighting be directed downward to reduce glare and limit the amount of night sky illumination. This standard applies to all commercial, industrial and institutional developments. 1 c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. Findings: The variation is not based on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel, but rather to highlight the building. d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is a not self-created hardship. Finding: The alleged difficulty or hardship is a self-created hardship The proposed development can be illuminated following the city's lighting standards. e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. Finding: The granting of the variance may be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located. Lighting of the site, directed skyward, could create additional night sky illumination that may negatively impact the neighborhood and community. f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. Finding: The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. 7. The planning report #04-22 dated September 9,2004, prepared by Robert Generous is incorporated herein. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council deny the variance to permit up-lighting of the Life Time Fitness buildings.

Weare proposing the use of ground mounted low wattage lights along the front façade of the health and fitness building. These fixtures would be located between the windows and would be directed at the masonry portions of the façade, which have a negligible reflectance. These light fixtures have an adjustable pivot point, which allows the fixture to be adjusted to any angle. Typically, adjustments are made during installation of these fixtures to maximize the lighting effect and minimize any wasted light beyond the building face. This accent lighting is intended to highlight the character of the building design and materials at night without creating negative light pollution. We believe the proposed lighting meets the intent of the City's lighting ordinance. We appreciate your consideration of this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions at (952) 229-7309.
