Planning board approves lighting for 2221 Penfield Road with dimming controls
Summary
The Penfield Planning Board voted to approve two 14-foot down-facing parking-lot lights with dimming controls for 2221 Penfield Road, finding the fixtures meet the overlay district’s height and design criteria and noting existing vegetative berms will provide screening.
The Penfield Planning Board on June 11 approved installation of two 14-foot down-facing parking-lot lights at 2221 Penfield Road, after staff reported the fixtures fall under the town’s 250-441 overlay district review and are well below the 20-foot maximum height.
Planning staff said the applicant provided cut sheets and proposed dimming capability to reduce overnight glare. A vegetated berm—estimated by staff to be 3–6 feet high—already buffers the rear parking area from neighboring residences. "Overall staff has no concerns with the proposed lights," the planning staff summarized; the board moved and voted to approve the installation.
Board members requested confirmation of dimming schedules and asked staff to double-check the berm height on final plans. The approval covers only the lighting element; no site-plan or subdivision review was required under the board’s determination because lighting is reviewed separately under the overlay code.
What’s next: Staff will confirm final photometric and dimming specifications and record the board vote in the project file.
