1183.11 ILLUMINATION OF PARKING AND LOADING AREAS.

Parking and loading areas shall be illuminated whenever necessary to protect the public safety. Such illumination shall be so designed and located that light sources are shielded from adjoining residential districts and streets, and shall not be of excessive brightness or cause a glare hazardous to pedestrians or drivers.

(a) In no case shall such lighting cause more than 0.2 foot candle, on average, of light to fall on adjacent properties measured horizontally at the lot line, without any shadowing effect from parked vehicles or trees at points of measurement. For the purposes of this Section, all light readings shall be taken from ground level with a direct reading portable light meter.

(b) Shields shall be used where necessary to prevent exposure of adjacent properties.
