Sec. 10-442. Roof Lighting

   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.

Sec. 10-443. Excessive Illumination

   a.   Lighting within any lot that unnecessarily illuminates and substantially interferes with the use or enjoyment of any other lot is prohibited. Lighting unnecessarily illuminates another lot if it clearly exceeds the requirements of this section, or if the standard could reasonably be achieved in a manner that would not substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment of neighboring properties.

   b.   Lighting must not be oriented so as to direct glare or excessive illumination onto streets in a manner that may distract or interfere with the vision of drivers on such streets.
