(A) The goal of these guidelines is to allow outside lighting for the functional and security needs of the neighborhood convenience center, without adversely impacting adjacent properties.
(B) Lighting shall enhance the overall aesthetics of the site.
(C) Security lighting shall be provided, particularly at pedestrian walkways and all entries.
(D) Lighting standards and canopies shall be integrated with the architectural design of the buildings and shall be no more than 20 feet above finished grade. Detached canopies for gasoline sales shall be no more than 20 feet from finished grade to top of canopy. All exterior canopy materials shall match the color of the main building. Canopy support posts shall be enclosed in the same masonry materials utilized on the main entry face of the building. Light sources (other than signs) attached to canopies shall be concealed on the underside of the canopy, either built into the canopy ceiling or contained within concave lens illumination boxes which cast light vertically to the surface of the pavement.
(E) Exterior speakers may be used for required fire and safety purposes only. No advertising or entertainment broadcasting shall be permitted through exterior speakers mounted on the exterior of neighborhood convenience center building or auxiliary structures.
(F) Light sources (light bulbs) shall not be visible from adjacent properties and shall not project a glare on to adjacent properties. They shall be shielded to reflect light down onto the ground and not out onto the streets or neighboring property.
