A. Flashing Lights: The use of flashing, rotating or pulsating lights in/on any outdoor sign or other lighting device is prohibited. This provision shall not apply to flashing, rotating or pulsating lights intended to warn of hazards and danger, nor to decorator lights as given to subsection 8-3-7A of this chapter.
B. Operation: No luminaire may be operated in such manner as to constitute a hazard or danger to persons, or to safe vehicular operation.
C. Signs And Billboards: Illuminating fixtures for advertising or other signs shall be such that the illumination is confined to the area of the sign or billboard. Under no conditions may signs or billboards be illuminated from below. Any such illuminating fixture shall be placed above its respective sign or billboard such that the secondary (specular) reflected light from the surface of the sign or billboard is directed down toward the ground.
D. Motion Detector Security Lights: Motion detector security lights, which are normally "off" and which are activated "on" for less than four (4) minutes occasionally when motion is detected, are exempt from strict control of emission angles as defined in section 8-3-3 of this chapter, but are not exempt from subsection B of this section, and subsection 8-3-4G, "Light Trespass", of this chapter.
E. Outdoor Recreational Facilities: Outdoor recreational facilities designed for specifically scheduled sporting events are exempt from the specific shielding requirements of section 8-3-3 of this chapter. In its place, lighting for outdoor recreational facilities shall be so designed, installed and operated as to confine at least ninety percent (90%) of the illumination to the recreational area. Recreational facility fixtures shall be on elevated poles or structures so that illumination is directed downward. No significant intensity of light may extend above a horizontal plane from the lighting fixture. Illumination from recreational facility fixtures shall be shielded to minimize glare extending toward roadways or other places where impairment of motorists' vision might cause hazard. All such recreational lighting shall be extinguished at the close of the recreational activity.
F. U.S. Flags; Mounted Objects: In the case of pole mounted U.S. flags that cannot be easily illuminated with down lighting, upward lighting may be used only in the form of one narrow cone spotlight which confines the illumination to the flag. (Ord. 331, 3-8-2005)
