(A) Any temporary outdoor lighting that conforms to the requirements of this subchapter shall be allowed. Nonconforming temporary outdoor lighting may be permitted by the City Council after considering:
(1) The public and/or private benefits that will result from the temporary lighting;
(2) Any annoyance or safety problems that may result from the use of the temporary lighting; and
(3) The duration of the temporary nonconforming lighting.
(B) The applicant shall submit a detailed description of the proposed temporary nonconforming lighting to the City Council, who shall consider the request at a duly called meeting of the Council. Prior notice of the meeting of the City Council shall be given to the applicant and the Pewee Valley Lighting Committee. The City Council shall render its decision on the temporary lighting request within two weeks of the date of the meeting. A failure by the City Council to act on a request within the time allowed shall constitute a denial of the request.
(C) Lighting fixtures used to illuminate an outdoor advertising sign shall be mounted on the top of the sign structure and shall comply with shielding requirements of § 150.082. Bottom-mounted outdoor advertising-sign lighting shall not be used. Outdoor advertising signs of the type constructed of translucent materials and wholly illuminated from within which do not require shielding must be approved by the City Council, where lamp wattage total shall be less than 41 watts. Dark backgrounds with light lettering or symbols are preferred to minimize detrimental effects. Laser or similar high intensity source lights, including searchlights, is prohibited.
