(A) Generally. In all districts, any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area, sign or other structure shall be arranged so as to deflect light away from any adjoining residential property or zone, or from the public streets.
(B) Direct lighting. Direct glare, whether from floodlights or from high temperature processes such as combustion or welding, shall be hooded or controlled in some manner so as not to light adjacent property. Bare incandescent light bulbs shall not be permitted in view of adjacent property or public right-of-way. The lens of lights under canopies such as at gasoline filling stations must be recessed flush with the ceiling or fully shielded on their sides.
(C) Maximum allowable light levels. Any light or combination of lights which cast light on a public street shall not exceed one-foot candle (meter reading) as measured from the centerline of the street. Any light or combination of lights which cast light on residential property shall not exceed 0.4 foot-candles (meter reading) as measured from the property.
