(a) All lighting shall be low intensity and shielded, not allowing any upward distribution of light, except for feature lighting. All lighting shall be erected and maintained so that direct light from bare, unshaded bulbs is confined to the property and does not cast a direct glare from the bare, unshaded bulb onto adjacent properties or public rights-of-way.
(b) Flood lighting shall be prohibited in the Single-family and Multi-family Districts and within two hundred (200) feet of the boundary line of the Single-family and Multi-family Districts. Flood lighting is prohibited in all other districts except for use in loading areas, but shall not include wallpack lighting.
(c) Feature lighting, such as up-lighting of trees or other plant material or seasonal lighting, shall be so arranged to reflect away from any residential structure. Such lighting shall not create a glare on adjacent streets or properties.
(d) All nonessential lighting shall be turned off outside of business operating hours, leaving only the necessary lighting for security. Nonessential lighting includes lighting for display, aesthetics, parking, and signage.
(e) Security lighting is lighting installed for the purposes of the security of a building, walkway, private roadway or street, or equipment yard. Security lighting shall be directed towards such buildings, walkways, private roadways and streets, and equipment yards.
(f) Lighting is required for all off-street parking areas and off-street loading areas and for driveways providing ingress and egress for all nonresidential and multi-family developments. Any parking lot light fixtures must direct light downward at a forty-five (45) degree angle and not project at an angle or up toward the sky.
(g) Where practicable, electrical service to outdoor lighting fixtures shall be underground. (Passed 7-7-22.)
