(a) Outdoor lighting fixtures in retail business, offices, institutions, industrial, all other nonresidential uses, multi-family developments and mobile home parks shall comply with the following regulations:
(1) Where used for safety or security reasons, only fully shielded lumenaires shall be utilized.
(2) The cut-off angle or placement of all lumenaires shall be such that the level of lighting shall not exceed 10.76 lux or one foot candle at the property line of any non-residential use and shall be zero foot candles at the property line adjoining a residential use.
(3) All on-site lighting of buildings, lawns, parking areas and signs shall be designed so as to not shine onto any adjacent property or building or to cause glare onto any public street.
(4) Light levels shall be measured in foot candles with a direct reading, portable light meter. Readings shall be taken only after the cell has been exposed long enough to take a constant reading. Measurements shall be taken at the property line, along a horizontal plane at a height of three and one-half feet above the ground.
(5) All non-essential outdoor lighting fixtures, including parking, display and aesthetic lighting, shall be turned off after business hours. Only that lighting needed for safety or security may remain lit after close of business, in which case the lighting shall be reduced to the minimum level necessary.
(6) Island canopy ceiling fixtures shall be recessed so that direct light cannot radiate onto adjacent properties or roadways.
(7) With the exception of flag lighting or ground level signs, no lighting may be pointed in an upward direction.
(8) The height of pole-mounted lighting fixtures in parking lots and elsewhere on the site shall not exceed 22 feet.
(9) A photometric drawing showing light levels on the site and at the property lines shall be required as part of the site development plan.
(b) Outdoor lighting for one-family and two-family dwellings:
(1) All HID lighting (including mercury vapor) will have full cut-off fixtures or be shielded to prevent the trespass of glare from direct light onto adjacent properties.
(2) All spot or flood lighting will be shielded or aimed in such a way as to not direct light to trespass onto other residential properties.
(3) Lamps on raised posts shall be permitted provided posts are not located in the street right-of-way, are not more than nine feet above grade and that lighting does not create a glare on adjoining residences.
