ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHAPTER 15.26 OF THE
CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE TO INCREASE OUTDOOR LIGHTING EFFCIENCY
FOR SPECIFIC COMMERCIAL OUTDOOR LIGHTING APPLICATIONS.
Submitted By: Lou El-Khazen, Building Official, and Cory Downs, Conservation Specialist II
On September 26, 2017, the City Council adopted the 2017 Climate Action Plan (CAP),
continuing Chula Vista's tradition as a nationally -recognized leader in addressing the local threat
of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and lowering Chula Vista's
vulnerability to expected climate change impacts. The 2017 CAP called for requiring energy
efficiency upgrades. The following proposed energy efficiency standards for specific commercial
outdoor lighting applications is a significant step in Chula Vista's greenhouse gas (GHG)
reduction strategy as outlined in the 2017 CAP.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to City Council the adoption of the ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The 2017 Climate Action Plan (CAP) and related implementation actions were established
through an extensive outreach effort to Chula Vista residents and communities. In 2014, Staff
reconvened the previously formed Climate Change Working Group (CCWG). The CCWG was
chaired by Sustainability Commission members and consisted of 13 other members representing
various community sectors. The CCWG held a total of 11 meetings, including 10 publicly -
noticed meetings and one public forum to solicit input and engage the public on the development
of the greenhouse gas reduction strategies through a consensus -building process. In November
2014, City Council adopted the 12 GHG reduction strategies that the CCWG presented, which
included requiring energy savings retrofits.
These CCWG recommendations were subsequently incorporated into the 2017 (CAP) adopted by
the City Council in September 2017. The 2017 CAP included an implementation schedule that
identified requiring energy savings retrofits as an action that would start in the fourth quarter of
2017.
The proposed ordinance will leverage the City's significant past efforts to increase energy
efficiency in commercial buildings such as implementing the Free Resource & Energy Business
Evaluation (FREBE) program, working with Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing
companies and the CLEAN Business program.
This proposed ordinance will be in place until it is superseded by the regular 2019 Building

This action is being taken in an effort to leverage the significant growth in LED efficiency and
continued drop in LED technology costs that has been seen in the market. This proposed
ordinance will also help better prepare Chula Vista businesses, builders and contractors for the
anticipated California State 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
Outdoor Lighting Zones:
California State lighting standards base the allowable outdoor lighting power, in part, on the
brightness of the surrounding conditions. Existing standards contain lighting power allowances
based on which Lighting Zone (LZ) the particular project is located in (see table below for
description of all lighting zones).
Zone
Ambient
State-wide Default Location

Government designated parks, recreation areas
and wildlife preserves.
LZ2
Low
Rural areas
LZ3
Medium
Urban areas
LZ4
High
High intensity nighttime use, such as
entertainment or commercial districts or areas
with special security considerations requiring very
high light levels.
According to the State, different outdoor lighting zones are created because the eyes adapt to
darker surrounding conditions, resulting in less necessary light needed to properly see; when the
surrounding conditions get brighter, more light is needed to see.
The City of Chula Vista consists of three outdoor Lighting Zones per the attached Outdoor
Lighting Zones Map. These include:
Page 12
Board of Appeals and Advisors
Meeting Date 04/09/2018
• Lighting Zone 3, urban areas that are State default areas as adopted by the California
Energy Commission (CEC) and defined by the 2000 Census,
• Lighting Zone 2, rural areas that are State default areas as adopted by the CEC and
defined by the 2000 Census, and
• Lighting Zone 3, Urban areas as Amended by City of Chula Vista Ordinance # 3023.
The City's most recent Lighting Zone Map adopted in 2005 lists a majority of the City as LZ3,
but due to significant development since it was adopted, City staff will be working to update the
map and bring back to City Council in the third quarter of 2018 for their consideration.
Proposed Implementation Approach:
In development of the proposed standards, the City utilized documents and analyses prepared for
future state energy codes and a model outdoor lighting efficiency ordinance that was created by
the four California Investor Owned Utilities (IOU) with feedback from local governments and
other stakeholders. Under this ordinance, non-residential new construction, additions or certain
alterations would need to meet lower power allowances for ten specific outdoor lighting uses (see
table below).
The new power allowances are calibrated to provide the same light output levels with less
energy, by utilizing Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting products instead of Pulse Start Metal
Halide (PSMH) lighting which is an older and less efficient technology. A Codes and Standards
Enhancement (CASE) study performed in 2017 by California utilities found that LED products
achieving these output and efficiency levels were commercially available already and are cost
effective alternatives to the older PSMH technology.
The table below compares the existing power allowance alongside the proposed lower power
allowance. Each lighting application has a unique power allowance that is applied based on its
installation characteristics, such as being applied per application, per unit length, or per specific
area, see table below for how each power allowance is applied. The proposed ordinance amends
power allowances for ten specific outdoor lighting applications. In total, the California Energy
Code sets power allowances for 17 specific outdoor non-residential lighting applications. It is
expected that all 17 power allowances for outdoor non-residential lighting applications will be
reduced as part of the regular 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, slated to be
implemented starting January 1, 2020. Therefore, this ordinance will help building owners save
energy by putting some of the expected 2019 requirements in place early.

Cost Effectiveness:
A proposed requirement is considered cost effective when it will save the user money over the
lifecycle of the measure in comparison with the existing requirement. Based on findings in a
study conducted for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), "Outdoor Lighting
Power Allowances — Final Report", staff have determined this ordinance to be cost-effective.
This study was conducted in 2017 with the goal of studying LED technology in the market in an
effort to inform the states 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards update.
The study shows that installing lighting systems compliant with the proposed allowances will
save businesses money under typical operating conditions. In other words, the energy bill savings
will more than compensate for any increase in initial installation cost. As shown in the table
below, for seven out of ten of the affected outdoor lighting categories, the new lighting
technologies needed to meet the proposed lighting power allowance standards were actually
found to cost less to purchase and install. Therefore, the proposed requirements for these seven
categories have an infinite benefit -to -cost ratio. The remaining three categories have an average
benefit to cost ratio of 22.2, which means that over their expected lifetime, they are expected to
save the users much more in utility costs than the incremental cost to implement the upgrades.

Reductions in Energy Use and GHG Emissions & Other Cities Taking Similar Action:
Higher efficiency lighting required by this ordinance will consume between 32% and 81% less
energy depending on the specific lighting application and lighting zone. Citywide, the ordinance
is estimated to save more than 3,300 MTCo2e emissions from covered buildings over the useful
life of the products. The City of Fremont, California implemented a similar outdoor lighting
efficiency requirement in April of 2017.
Required Next Steps:
In order for the City to adopt and enforce increased building energy standards, the City must
submit an application to the California Energy Commission and obtain approval before the
increased standards can take effect. The application submittal must include:
1) The proposed standards as adopted by Council; and
2) The City's determination that the proposed standards will save energy and are cost-
effective; and
3) A study with supporting analysis for the City's energy savings and cost effectiveness
findings; and
4) A statement that the proposed standards will require buildings to be designed to consume
no more energy than permitted by the State Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
The ordinance includes the necessary energy savings and cost effectiveness findings. By
reviewing the cost effectiveness study and adopting this proposed ordinance, Council will be
making the cost effectiveness and energy savings determinations mentioned above. After City
Council votes on the proposed Ordinance after first reading, staff will submit the application to
the CEC for their review and approval. The CEC review and approval process can take up to
three months. After CEC approval, staff will file the ordinance with the California Building
Standards Commission and the ordinance will go into effect 30 days after the CEC approval.
