Noise & LightNoise & LightAnalysisAnalysis

P.17

The University shall abide by the District of Columbia noise regulations set forth in 20 DCMR Subtitle C. No sound amplification systems with multiple components and large free standing speakers will be permitted on the soccer field after 7:00 p.m., unless an official overtime is declared, and except as provided in the next sentence. To the extent that such sound amplification systems are needed on the soccer field for non-athletic special events such as graduation, 4th of July celebrations and other special events, these events will be limited to 12 per year (an additional number of events can be approved at the quarterly community meeting), will comply with District of Columbia noise regulations, and all reasonable efforts will be made to reduce the impacts on surrounding residential areas. The University shall establish and publicize a "hot-line" telephone number to the University Police Department, which shall be provided to Advisory Neighborhood Commissions 3D and 2E and the Foxhall and Palisades Citizens Associations, which neighbors can call with questions or concerns regarding campus noise and activity. There will be no amplified music on the tennis courts after 7:00 p.m.

Excerpt from BZA Application No. 16505, Page 6, Paragraph 11:

a. All on-campus exterior lighting shall be designed in a high quality manner reasonably designed to minimize impacts upon neighboring properties. Such lighting shall adequately light pathways, building entrances and other areas of the campus in a manner adequate for the security of students and others, and shall in general be low-level lighting, including architectural quality light pole lights and soft tree lighting. New buildings shall not be illuminated by spot or flood lights. Lighting specifications shall be developed and designed by consultants with expertise in techniques to minimize impacts upon neighbors.Special attention shall be paid to the lighting of entrance areas, garage ramps, and other points that traditionally are more highly lit than the general level of campus lighting, to be certain that such areas are not unnecessarily intrusive to neighbors.

Current Campus Light Regulations

b. Outdoor athletic facilities shall not be lighted at night, except for the tennis courts, which may continue to be lighted in accordance with its current schedule (11:00p.m.) and the lighting of which shall be designed to make the reasonable best effort not to throw light laterally. There will be no night games scheduled on the soccer field.

c. During future building design and regulatory review, the University will make reasonable efforts to minimize negative interior lighting impacts on residential neighbors, especially in developing the patterns of fenestration and areas that require 24 hour lighting for security or building code purposes
