A. Plan Submittal. Whenever a person is required to obtain a permit for outdoor lighting or signage, a conditional use permit, subdivision approval or any development plan approved by the Town, including all Town projects, or a building permit, the applicant shall, as part of the application process, submit sufficient information to enable the Town designee to assess whether or not the plan is in conformance with this lighting ordinance.
B. Applications. All applications may be subject to review. All applications shall include the following:
1. A site plan indicating the location of all lighting fixtures, both proposed and any already existing on the site;
2. A description of each illuminating device, fixture, lamp, support and shield, both proposed and existing. The description shall include, but is not limited to, manufacturer’s catalog cuts and illustrations (including sections where required); lamp types, wattages and initial lumen outputs; and
3. Such other information that the town staff or designee may determine is necessary to ensure compliance with this code.
C. Plan Approval. If the town staff determines that any proposed lighting does not comply with this code, the permit shall not be issued or the plan approved.
D. Lamp or Fixture Substitution. Should any outdoor light fixture or the type of light source therein be changed after the permit has been issued, a change request must be submitted to the planning director or designee or designee for approval, together with adequate information to assure compliance with this code, which must be received prior to substitution.
E. Certification of Installation. For all projects where the total initial output of the proposed lighting equals or exceeds 100,000 lamp lumens, certification that the lighting, as installed, conforms to the approved plans shall be provided by a certified engineer before the certificate of occupancy is issued. Until this certification is submitted, approval for use of a certificate of occupancy shall not be issued for the project. (Exhibit. A)
