All lighting fixtures designed or placed so as to illuminate any portion of a site must meet the following requirements:
a. Fixture (luminaire)
The light source must be completely concealed, fully shielded within opaque housing and must not be visible from any street right-of-way.
b. Light Source (lamp)
Only incandescent, fluorescent, color-corrected high-pressure sodium, light-emitting diode (LED) or metal halide may be used. The same type must be used for the same or similar types of lighting on any one site throughout any master-planned development. (Ord. No. 0-2015-67; 6/24/15)
c. Mounting
Fixtures must be designed and mounted in such a manner that the cone of light does not cross any adjacent property lines of neighboring sites.
d. Illumination Levels
All site lighting must be designed and installed so that the level of illumination as measured in foot candles at a height of three feet at the property line does not exceed .2 foot candles in or adjacent to residential uses and 1 foot candle in or adjacent to nonresidential areas.
a. Roads, Driveways, Sidewalks and Parking Lots
All roads, driveways, sidewalks and parking lots must be sufficiently illuminated to ensure the security of property and safety of persons using such areas and facilities. Where such roads, driveways, sidewalks or parking lots fall on private property, the responsibility for lighting such areas will fall upon the developer.
b. Entrances and Exits in Non-Residential and Multifamily Projects
All entrances and exits in buildings used for non-residential purposes and open to the general public, along with all entrances and exits in multifamily residential buildings containing more than four units, must be adequately lighted to ensure the safety of persons and the security of the building.
c. Commercial Parking Lot Lighting
All commercial parking lots are required to provide lighting during nighttime hours of operation.
d. Canopy Area Lighting
All development that incorporates a canopy area over gas pumps, automated bank machines, or similar installations must provide lighting for the canopy area. For the purposes of this Division, the canopy area must be defined as that area immediately below the canopy.
a. Application
An application for a permit authorizing a project including the use of roof lighting must include a roof lighting plan containing sufficient information to determine whether the roof lighting, if installed as proposed, will meet the standards and intent of this division.
b. Roof Lighting Standards
1. All bulbs or tubing must be encased so that the bulb is not naked and that direct glare is prevented.
2. Lights may not run along the highest peak of a roof line, except where perimeter lighting around the top of a flat roof is allowed.
3. Roof lighting that qualifies as a sign under this code is prohibited.
