Document Description
The District proposes field lighting improvements at Rancho Mirage High School around the perimeter of the baseball, softball, and soccer fields. The proposed lighting improvements would include 38 lighting fixtures on poles ranging in height from 50 feet to 100 feet tall. All luminaries would utilize LED technology and would be fixed to cast light downward to reduce spill onto adjacent properties. The proposed lighting improvements of the athletic fields was prompted by the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 328, which requires high schools to start no earlier than 8:30 A.M. The proposed lights would safely allow use of the athletic fields into the evening hours and the design meets the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) recommended lighting levels.
