(a) No person shall erect any light, including high-intensity discharge lights, incandescent lights or other types of lights for exterior area lighting of the type commonly used for lighting grounds around homes, including those now or hereafter offered by the Columbus Southern Power Company on a rental basis and designated as private area lights, without first obtaining a permit therefor. All such lighting must use cut-off type fixtures to limit glare and avoid direct lighting onto neighboring property, streets, or toward the night sky.
(Ord. 29-16. Passed 11-15-16.)
(b) All exterior area lights, of the kind described in subsection (a) hereof, whether now in operation or hereafter approved as provided in subsection (a) hereof, must be so arranged and shielded to reflect the light away from the nearby property of any neighboring owner or tenant. If such lights are not so arranged and shielded, any such neighboring owner or tenant-who claims to be affected by the operation and use of such lights may file an objection to their continued operation with the Board. Upon such objection, a hearing will be held at the next meeting of the Board at which both the owner and objecting party shall be present to discuss the objection. At such hearing, the Board may take whatever action it deems advisable, including prohibiting the continued use of the lights involved. No person shall fail to comply with a decision or order of the Board.
