To protect and preserve the rights, privileges, and property of the City’s residents, and to preserve and improve the peace, safety, health, welfare, comfort, and convenience of its residents, this chapter is intended to minimize glare, minimize light trespass, and establish regulations for outdoor lighting. All outdoor lighting shall be installed with the idea of being a “good neighbor,” to keep unnecessary direct light from shining onto abutting properties or streets. This chapter encourages lighting practices that will reduce light pollution by reducing up-light, glare, and over lighting, and sets standards for outdoor lighting so that its use does not interfere with the reasonable use and enjoyment of property within the City. It is recognized that this chapter might need to be revised to accommodate lighting designs and fixtures that are newly developed after the adoption of this chapter.
