A. Any application or lighting installation not meeting all requirements of this Code, including, but not limited to height, shielding, curfew or lumen caps, shall require a Special Use Permit, and must demonstrate that the proposed lighting will not cause off- site glare or light trespass.
B. The Special Use Permit application shall be accompanied by the lighting system design and shall be certified by an Arizona Registered Professional or other certified lighting specialist. Certification is to verify that the minimum illuminance level for the specific activity has been achieved, as recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), and that all other applicable provisions of this Article have been met.
C. The process for a Special Use Permit requires the Permit to be reviewed by the Commission and the Commission’s recommendation forwarded to the Council for consideration. The meeting notifications are provided to the community through a published notice and posting on the property 15 days before the hearing. Any appeals of the Council decision will go to the Hearing Officer under the provisions of Article 151.30, Appeals and Variances.
