(a) Where a Site Plan or Development Plan is required for multi-family, religious, educational, commercial, and industrial usage, a photometric computer printout of the lighting model which indicates the location, the height above grade, the type of illumination, the source lumens, and the luminous area for each source light which is proposed must be submitted for review and approval to insure that the following light restrictions are followed.
(b) High Intensity Discharge (HID) mercury-vapor and quartz lighting shall be prohibited for most outdoor uses due to glare hazard and aesthetic reasons. HID high-pressure sodium lighting shall only be used where glare hazard and light trespass can be prevented. HID metal halide or incandescent lighting is preferred exterior lighting schemes due to the soft, white, attractive light produced. HID low pressure sodium lighting is acceptable, but should not be used in areas where color distortion could be a security problem.

(d) The maximum height of lighting fixtures shall not exceed the maximum building height permitted in the Zoning District.
(e) When located adjacent to business uses, the light source shall not be visible at a height greater than five (5) feet above ground level. When located adjacent to residential uses, the light source shall not be visible at ground level or above.
(f) Any multifamily, commercial, or industrial parking area which is intended to be used during non-daylight hours shall be properly illuminated to avoid accidents.
(g) Parking lot lighting shall not exceed an average of two (2) foot candles.
(h) Lighting fixtures used to illuminate a parking lot shall be so arranged as to reflect the light away from an adjoining property and shall allow no direct light above a five (5) foot horizontal plane anywhere along a property line.
(i) Lighting fixtures higher than fifteen (15) feet or exceeding 0.1 foot candle measured on a vertical plane anywhere along a property line shall be shielded by a full cut-off shade that totally cuts off light spillover at a cutoff angle smaller than ninety (90) degrees.
