(a) Interference with traffic. No lighting may be used in any way in connection with a sign unless it is effectively shielded so as to prevent beams or rays of light from being directed at any portion of the main-traveled way of the public roadway, bikeway, trail, or onto any residential property, or is of such low intensity or brilliance as not to cause glare or to impair the vision of a person operating a vehicle, or to otherwise interfere with a person's operation of a vehicle.
(b) Underground electrical service. All luminated freestanding identification signs must have underground electrical service.
(c) Lighting standards. Lighting integrated into or associated with a sign must comply with the standards of § 21.301.07, including sign brightness.
(d) Dimmer control. All luminated signs must have a dimmer to control sign brightness.
(e) Temporary sign lighting. Except for temporary decorations, temporary signs must not be lit unless otherwise noted in § 21.304.13.
(f) Proximity to residential. Luminated signs must have a minimum separation of 100 feet from the leading edge of a sign to any adjacent parcel that is both residentially zoned and residentially used if the sign face is visible from the adjacent residential property.
