Purpose. The purpose of this section is to define the city exterior lighting regulations and to aid developers, designers, and the public in understanding the policies and procedures, which govern the operation of the city. To facilitate the citizens and business owners of the city to remain in compliance with codes regulating exterior lighting. The intent of this section is to encourage lighting practices and systems that will minimize light pollution, light trespass, impacts to nocturnal wildlife, and conserve energy while maintaining nighttime safety, utility, security, and productivity. The city falls in Zone III, established by Coconino County, allowing increased flexibility in the uses of outdoor lighting farther from the observatories. These regulations shall be used in conjunction with other codes, ordinances, and standards of the city and such other agencies as may have jurisdiction.
