General Guidelines
These guidelines have been prepared to inform and assist private Developers
in detailing their responsibility and the submittal requirements for street
lights for new developments. Installation of streetlights is required as
part of required off-site improvements by Development Services Department.
Developers should also be aware of the Street Light Policy, adopted by the city Council, which sets the broad policy framework and guidance for street
lighting in the city.
Streetlight Submittal Requirements
All developers of residential, commercial, and industrial properties are
responsible for the design, materials and installation of streetlights and
their associated cost on all public streets adjacent and within their projects.
The method of installation will vary according to the electric utility service
area (See below) where the project is located.
Development within Arizona Public Service (APS) Areas
The Developer will submit two (2) sets of scaled drawings of the site plan
and subdivision plat to APS. The drawings will show lot and or property lines,
driveways, streets and other utilities where applicable. Upon receipt of
the drawings, APS will provide scale drawings to the Street Transportation
Department for the layout of the streetlights. The Street Transportation
Department will review and approve the location of all streetlights and then
contact APS who will design the street lighting system. All light installations
will be designed and installed by Arizona Public Service Company.
Please contact A.P.S. at 602-371-7171 to initiate the submittal process.
Development within Salt River Project (SRP) Area
The Developer or his representative shall submit three (3) sets of scaled
drawings of the site plan and subdivision plat to the city's Street Transportation
Department. The drawings will show lot and or property lines, driveways,
streets and other utilities where applicable. The existing streetlights adjacent
to development (within 500 feet +/-) and their distance shall be noted on
the drawings. The Street Transportation Department will determine and locate
the required streetlights.
The Street Transportation Department will forward copies of the approved
street light locations to the Developer or his representative and SRP, who
will design the street lighting electrical service. The Developer shall coordinate
the design and installation of the street lighting system with SRP.
If pole locations must be changed for any reason, three (3) copies of the
revised plans showing the new locations shall be submitted to the Street
Transportation Department for review and approval. The City will send two
(2) copies of the approved revision to SRP for circuit re-design where necessary.
