Incorporate light fi xtures with consistent luminaire and pole styles that
are unique and refl ect the character and heritage of San Jacinto.
A common lighting standard for the San
Jacinto Texas Historic District can help brand
the District. Each community can reinforce
its identity with lighting fi xtures and other
street furnishings within an overall theme
consistent with the District. Select lighting
fi xtures that can serve multiple functions
such as to support street lights, pedestrian
scaled lights, signs, banners, fl ags, festival
and holiday lighting, and hanging or other
landscape planters. In areas with high
potential for pedestrian traffi c, provide
ornamental, pedestrian-scaled lighting
fi xtures that add to the visual character
and pedestrian appeal of the streetscape.
Pedestrian lighting can be located either as
stand-alone poles or as att achments to street
light poles or buildings. See Design Elements
for suggested pole and luminaire styles.
