The street lighting system and the city is divided into separate zones to reflect the intensity of illumination required to provide safe travel and protection of property within each zone. These zones shall be as follows:
A. Highway Illumination Zone: The highway illumination zone shall include all areas requiring illumination along the streets where there is no direct benefit accruing to any particular improved real property owner or occupant. Such zone includes freeway interchanges, the limited access portions of U.S. Highway 95 from Northwest Boulevard to Walnut Avenue, freeway overpasses and other such areas as determined by the city engineer or street superintendent, where no direct benefit is accrued to any particular improved real property.
B. High Illumination Intensity Zone: The high illumination intensity zone includes areas requiring twenty thousand (20,000) lumen lights to provide for public safety and the safety of the improved real property. The streets in this zone carry the highest traffic volumes. This zone shall include improved real property with frontage on the following streets: Northwest Boulevard, Sherman Avenue, U.S. Highway 95 from Ironwood Drive south to Walnut Avenue, Fourth Street from Sherman Avenue to Best Avenue and Appleway from Fourth Street to Ramsey Road.
C. Moderate Illumination Intensity Zone: The moderate illumination intensity zone includes areas requiring ten thousand (10,000) lumen lights to provide for the general public safety and the safety of improved real property. The streets in this zone do not have the traffic volume of the high illumination intensity zone, but have greater traffic volumes than residential areas. This zone shall include improved real property with frontage on the following streets: Fifteenth Street north of Sherman Avenue, Harrison Avenue from Government Way to Fifteenth Street, Best Avenue and Third Street from Sherman Avenue North.
D. Residential Illumination Intensity Zone: The residential illumination intensity zone includes areas requiring less than ten thousand (10,000) lumen lights to provide for general public safety and the safety of improved real property. The residential illumination intensity zone includes all improved real property not included in subsections A, B and C of this section. (Ord. 3064 §5, 2002: Ord. 2934 §20, 1999: Ord. 1686 §2, 1981)
