(E) Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking or loading areas shall be arranged so as to reflect the light away from adjoining premises of any residential district.

Any establishment which has drive-in facilities, as defined in this chapter, shall, in addition to the spaces required by § 156.077(B), provide lane spaces between the service structure and the public right-of-way as designated below.
