4 INTRODUCTION
This Street Light Manual for the City of Lake Elsinore has been prepared to establish guidelines for City standards and criterions for the design and installation of all new or relocated street lights located within the City right of way and boundaries. This document shall be used for all street lights on public streets in the City of Lake Elsinore. Deviations from these standards shall require specific approval of the City Engineer.

This Street Light Manual provides for forms, standard drawings, checklists and processes to create a streamline process and a guideline on what to expect from planning to construction and final acceptance of public street lights by the City of Lake Elsinore. This document is not intended or designed as, nor does it establish, a legal standard for lighting. The standards and criterions within this manual do not preclude the use of higher standards.

Note: The term developer in this document is inclusive term and includes, but is not limited to developers, engineers, contractors and/or subcontractors concerning services and responsibilities addressed throughout this manual.

Title 24 of California Code of Regulation institutes a statewide lighting zone system. However, Title 24 alone does not restrict residential lighting or street lights. Riverside County is one of the first governing bodies to restrict outdoor lighting to preserve the dark night sky and to adhere to the American Medical Association (AMA) recommendations on Light-emitting diode (LED). This Street Light Manual will show compliance with dark night sky zones and AMA recommendations.

5 STREET LIGHTS REQUIRED
Street lights shall be required for all lots and parcels being developed or constructed. In addition, street lights may be required for lots and parcels containing existing structures which are being improved or altered, depending on the nature and extent of work.

STREET LIGHTS NOT REQUIRED

Developers shall be required to obtain a written approval from City Engineer prior to designing for the below scenarios where street lights are not required.

Street lights may not be required for single family residential subdivisions having an average lot street frontage of more than 125 feet, and will not be required to install a street light system along the streets, but shall as a minimum, be required to install street lights at all intersections, cul-de-sacs, and other locations deemed by the City Engineer to be essential. (e.g. pedestrian tunnel, pedestrians over-crossing, bridges, curves, etc.)

Street lights shall not be required for planned developments, residential, commercial, and industrial developments where the internal streets are not offered for dedication, a street lighting system will not be required for the internal non-dedicated streets, but shall be provided by the developer on the external public street frontage.

TEMPORARY LIGHTING:

Alternate roadway lighting shall be provided during construction and the temporary street lighting system must be in operation prior to removing the existing street lighting system. If a project is constructed in phases the developer may need to complete a temporary lighting plan. This must meet the current lighting standards.

Temporary lighting systems are required for all public rights-of-way (roadways, sidewalks, walkways, underpasses, overpasses, detour roads, etc.) where existing street lighting systems are being replaced or new street lighting systems are being constructed. The second condition refers to areas with no existing lighting before construction begins – Utilitarian lighting is not considered a lighting system.
- The temporary street lighting system shall be in operation prior to removing the existing street lighting system or constructing the new street lighting system. - The temporary street lighting system shall provide an average illumination and uniformity ratio (ave./min.). See Illumination Lighting Level method of this manual for minimum lighting values. - The Contractor shall make arrangements with power utility company for service or shall provide an alternate power supply.
- The temporary street lighting system must be in operation from dusk to dawn. - The contractor is responsible for restoring street lights out of service within 24 hours. - The contractor shall be responsible (including all related costs) for the installation, operation, maintenance, removal, and liability of the temporary street lighting system (equipment).

6 WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES (WTF)
City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Chapter 17.415.140 established in order to enhance the ability of wireless communications service providers to effectively and efficiently provide new wireless communications services in the City; encourage the design and placement of wireless communications facilities in a way that minimizes their impact to the visual character, health, economic vitality and biological resources of the City; encourage and maximize the use of existing and approved wireless communications facilities, buildings and other structures while taking into account the use of concealment technology in order to reduce the number of facilities needed to serve businesses and residents in the City; ensure continuous maintenance of new and existing wireless communications facilities; and ensure the timely removal of any unused or outdated wireless communications facilities.

The City preferences for wireless telecommunication facilities to be located on City-owned street light poles within the Public Right-of-Way. Any proposed WTF installed on a street light poles will comply with all the Federal, State and City’s requirements and standards.

When the street light is being installed for the purposes of telecommunication use, all telecommunication equipment electrical power shall be separated from street light connections.

Separate circuits will be provided and any necessary pull box will be installed, to provide a point of connection.

Electrical connections will be metered separately from Public Street Lights. Wireless telecommunication facilities must utilize SCE wireless metering. If SCE wireless metering is not feasible, metering must be contained within available equipment enclosures.

Only one wireless installation will be allowed per street light pole, however, more than one carrier may be allowed to share the equipment of a neutral host provided. Priority to install on public street light poles will be given on a “first-come first-served basis”.

Public street light poles not in compliance with the City’s standards must be upgraded prior to the installation of the wireless telecommunications facility.

Signage on the pole base shall comply with all relevant provisions of ANSI C95.2, and must identify the owner of the attached equipment, equipment, equipment ID, and provide a 24 hour contact number to its network operations and center, and such telephone number shall be able to reach a live person who can exert transmitter power-down control over this site as required by the FCC.

7 UTILITY COMPANY AUTHORIZATION
Southern California Edison (SCE) is the electrical service provider in the City of Lake Elsinore. There are three (3) types of rate schedules or plans that SCE and City of Lake Elsinore will accept. These 3 rate schedules will establish design and construction, funding, ownership and operation and maintenance responsibilities. The developer should become familiar with the SCE schedules in order to expedite approval of plans. The developer must work with the City and get prior approval before moving forward with any of the three SCE rate schedules below.

Schedule LS-1 – This rate applies to un-metered street, highway, and public parking lot lighting that is owned, operated, and maintained by SCE. The City does not encourage this rate schedule for street lights that are within the public right of way or easement.

Schedule LS-2 – This rate applies to un-metered street, highway, road, and public parking lot lighting that City will own, operate, and maintain. Applicant may elect this schedule with prior approval from the City for both new and relocated street lights.

Schedule LS-3 – This rate applies to metered street, highway, road, and public parking lot lighting that City will own, operate, and maintain. Applicant may elect this schedule with prior approval from the City for both new and relocated street lights.

The Southern California Edition (SCE) rates and tables are available online, it shall be the responsibility of the developer to ensure the most current SCE applications and requirements are completed and complied with.

New street lights installation in the City maintained roadways may require the developers to install a meter street light electrical service. The use of metered vs. flat rate electrical billing shall be determined by the Developer’s Engineer in consultation with SCE prior to submittal to the City.

A written notice from the serving utility company, stating that line clearance and service have been checked and are adequate, shall be submitted to the City Engineer for all developments requiring street lighting.

8 CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE AUTHORIZATION
Developer shall review the “Street Light Authorization, Design, Construction and Acceptance Process” of this manual for complete street light authorization process. The City has acquired almost all of its street lights from SCE and are currently, maintained and operated by the City or its contractors. All the street lights that were purchased from SCE are in the SCE Schedule LS-2, that is these lights are all un-metered street lights. Since most of the current City street lights are under the SCE Schedule LS-2 system, the City prefers all new street lights be design for LS-2 systems if possible and practical for the proposed development.

The City understands that SCE Schedule LS-2 may be not be practical for certain developments or utility provider, as such, Street light Authorization Form was developed to ensure the street light designs and SCE LS Schedule is determined early in the design phase to avoid any unnecessary design changes as the project progresses.

Street light Authorization Form via City Engineer approval will initially determine if the project is required to provide for street lights, further, it will determine which SCE Schedule LS-1, LS-2 or LS-3 are appropriate for each specific development.

Once the street lights SCE Schedules are approved for the proposed development, the developer shall comply with the requirements and processes as described in the “Street Light Authorization, Design, Construction and Acceptance” section of this manual.

It is important to note, there are at minimum three stakeholders in the design and construction of the street lights. It is recommended and highly advisable for all developers to have a separate or coordinated discussion with both the City and SCE at the initial stages of design. Starting the discussion with both agencies is highly recommended to ensure the projects move forward with all parties having equivalent understanding and expectations.

9 DEVELOPER’S RESPONSIBILITY
This document is subject to updates; therefore, developers and other interested parties contemplating any action or construction governed by this manual should ensure they are using the most recent revisions.

In addition to this manual, all applicable industry standards and rules and regulations of federal, state, and local governmental agencies are in effect. This manual should not be construed to change or modify the intent of other applicable codes or standards by any other governmental or utility agency serving the project area. Any and all questions regarding “areas of conflict” shall be decided in favor of the more stringent of the various rules and regulations in conflict.

All deviations and modifications from this manual must be approved by the City Engineer. No work may proceed which deviates from the requirements of this manual without written authorization from the City Engineer.

Existing street lights which must be relocated or repositioned as a result of the construction of new streets or driveways into a development shall be the responsibility of the developer.

Where a development abuts a collector street, primary residential street, or minor residential street, assume that street lights will be installed on alternate side of the street, and where the property on the opposite side of the street has developed without street lights, the City Engineer may require the developer to install additional street lights on the frontage of the development to maintain proper street light spacing.

A new service can with a step-down transformer, required as a result of the modification, replacement or relocation of an existing utility service pedestal shall be the responsibility of the developer. The developer shall also be responsible to ensure that power shall remain to existing street lights during the period of any such modification, replacement or relocation of an existing utility service pedestal.

It shall be the responsibility of the developer to ensure that the power shall remain to the existing street light system until the new street light system is completed and functioning correctly.

See below “Developer’s Checklist”, certain items shown in the list may not be required of the developer depending on the City approved SCE LS Schedule. Developer is advised to retain copies of all relevant and applicable items shown below to expedite the transfer of street lights for ownership, maintenance and operations post construction.

Illuminance Lighting Level Methods

Illuminance lighting level methods maybe used in certain cases for Street lights with prior approval from the City Engineer. The design values for Illuminance from AASHTO Roadway Lighting Design Guide shall be used for non-street lights and pedestrian areas such as sidewalks, pathway, bikeways and parking lots. Note: Parking Lot illuminance design values shall meet values similar to the value in the table for pedestrian ways.

Illuminance is a measurement of the amount of light that hits the pavement or pathway surface.

Illuminance is measured in foot-candles. Illuminance layouts may be designed with lighting design software or with illuminance templates. The illuminance at any point will be the sum of illuminance from one or several contributing sources.

The level and uniformity of illuminance along a typical roadway, pedestrian paths, sidewalks, parks and parking lot depends on several factors, including the lumen output or the lights source, luminaire distribution, mounting height, luminaire position, pavement reflectance, and pole spacing and arrangement. The same average level can be obtained by different installation arrangement, such as a few high-output light sources or a greater number of low-output sources.

The proper light loss factor (LLF) should be used in all lighting calculations. LLF is depreciation factor applied to the calculated initial average illuminance. The recommended lighting levels for continuous lighting are in the table below. These values are based on Table 3-5a from the AASHTO Roadway Lighting Design Guide.

18 The table below contains the recommended illuminance value for continuous lighting of roadways based on roadway type and general land use for the City of Lake Elsinore.

Solar Lights

Solar powered LED street lights have brought very promising opportunities for applications in street lighting with recent advances in LED and Battery technology. It is feasible in the future that the City will adopt standalone solar photovoltaic street lighting system for new and retro-fitted street lights.

Since many manufacturers have come up with various luminaire styles, color temperature, wattages and other parameters, the City will accept Solar Street lights, Solar Parking Lot Lights and Solar Pathway Lighting on case by case basis and with prior approval from City Engineer.

Solar powered street light benefits include:
- No Line voltage, trenching, or metering;
- No power outages;
- Able to employ new battery backup for cloudy or rainy days - No single point of failure
- Possible federal and state and utility incentives
- Reduced emissions from electricity production
- Contains daylight sensors or hour preset, no running or maintenance cost - Safe 12 Volt/24volt circuit with little to no risk of electric shock.

Solar power street light on the other hand become inoperable should low-sun conditions persist beyond the storage capacity of the street light batteries. Due to the continued advances both in the LED and Batteries to power the Solar Luminaires, City will not adopt and make Solar street lights mainstream standards until Solar street lights are more reliable, efficient and standardized.

A basic solar powered LED street light system component are:
- Solar Panel
- LED Luminaire
- Battery
- Controller
- Pole and Foundation
