C. Lighting Plans and Standards. Exterior lighting standards must be met and submission of a lighting plan is required. Exterior lighting plans are required for new development or redevelopment of existing exterior lighting in the M-1 Limited Industrial District. At the time any exterior light is installed or substantially modified in the M-1 District, and whenever a zoning permit application is required for new development or redevelopment, an exterior lighting plan shall be submitted to the Plan Commission in order to determine whether the requirements of this subsection have been met and that adjoining property will not be adversely impacted by the proposed lighting.
1. A lighting plan submitted pursuant to the requirements of this subsection shall have, at a minimum, the following elements:
a. A catalog page, cut sheet, or photograph of the luminaire, including the mounting method, a graphic depiction of the luminaire lamp (or bulb) concealment, and graphic depiction of light cutoff angles.
b. A photometric data test report of the proposed luminaire graphically showing the lighting distribution in all angles vertically and horizontally around the luminaire.
c. A plot plan, drawn to a recognized engineering or architectural scale, indicating the location of the luminaire(s) proposed, mounting and/or installation height in feet, the overall illumination levels (in footcandles) and lighting uniformities on the site, and the illumination levels (in foot candles) at the property boundary lines. This may be accomplished by means of an isolux curve or computer printout projecting the illumination levels.
2. Exterior lighting in the M-1 District shall be limited to total-cutoff-type luminaires (with angle greater than 90°). The maximum permitted illumination shall be two foot candles and the maximum permitted luminaire height shall be 30 feet as measured from surrounding grade to the bottom of the luminaire. (Note: This standard does not address illumination levels or fixture height which may be required by the Village of Rochester for the adequate lighting of public street rights-of-way. It represents maximum illumination levels on private property.)
3. For the purposes of this subsection, light shall be measured as follows:
a. Metering equipment. Lighting levels shall be measured in foot candles with a direct-reading, portable light meter. The meter shall be read within an accuracy of plus or minus 5%. The meter shall have been tested, calibrated, and certified by an independent commercial photometric laboratory or the manufacturer within 30 days of its use.
b. Method of measurement. The meter sensor shall be mounted not more than six inches above ground level in a horizontal position at the interior line of the buffer yard or at the property line, as required herein. Readings shall be taken only after the cell has been exposed long enough to provide a constant reading. In order to eliminate the effects of moonlight and other ambient light, measurements shall be made after dark with the light source in question on, then with the same sources off. The differences between the two readings shall be compared to the maximum permitted illumination allowed under this subsection.
