(A) Spill light on adjacent residential or unlighted properties shall be minimized by providing materials, methods, and designs so that no more than an average maintained three-tenths (0.3) footcandle is measured on a horizontal plane at grade at the property line, and no more than one footcandle average maintained when adjacent to all other uses.
(B) Wall mounted luminaries shall not be mounted higher above the ground than their distance to the property line unless they are mounted so as to direct the light away from the adjacent property, (i.e., on a wall on the property line but directed inward). Maximum mounting height for wall mounted luminaries shall be 15 feet.
(C) Direct glare shall be minimized by compliance with the following requirements:
(1) The light system shall be designed to minimize the impact on sky glow and glare to adjacent properties.
(2) Where the adjacent property is residential and the luminary is a decorative style (Class III), the lot line side of the luminary is to be blocked out to eliminate spill and glare.
(3) The direct glare from the luminary shall not be visible from three feet above grade at the property line with the exception of sports field lighting as herein provided for in division (G) of this section.
(4) Lighting for field sports shall have a maximum of 1.5 footcandles initial maximum vertical illuminance at six feet above grade at the property line. Direct glare shall not be visible beyond 100 feet from the playing field boundary.
