4. 
The number of vehicle movements generated by the proposed use and relationship to the amount of traffic on abutting streets and on minor streets in the surrounding neighborhood, not in terms of the street's capacity to absorb the additional traffic, but rather in terms of any significant increase in hourly or daily traffic levels.

The impact of night lighting in terms of intensity and duration and frequency of use as it impacts adjacent properties and in terms of presence in the neighborhood.
