All lighting fixtures designed or placed so as to illuminate any portion of a site shall meet the following requirements:
A. Shielding.
1. Overhead lighting fixtures shall be designed to prevent light from emitting upwards towards the sky.
2. Under canopy lighting fixtures should be completely recessed within the canopy.
3. Wall packs shall be cut-off and wall-mounted floodlights shall be shielded (e.g., true cutoff type bulb or light source not visible from off-site) to direct light downward.
4. Exterior lighting fixtures located on private property and visible from a residential land use shall be configured so that the source of illumination (the bulb) is not visible from the residential land use (see Figure 5.4.6.A: Light Shielding).
B. Fixture Height.
1. Lighting fixtures shall be a maximum of 30 feet in height within the parking lot and shall be a maximum of 15 feet in height within non-vehicular pedestrian areas.
2. All light fixtures located within 50 feet of any single-family detached or duplex dwelling shall not exceed 15 feet in height.
C. Lamp Type.
1. Incandescent, florescent, metal halide, light-emitting diode (LED), or color corrected high-pressure sodium lamps are permitted.
2. Non-color-corrected high pressure sodium lamps are prohibited.
3. Other lamp types are allowed when the color emitted is similar to the permitted lamp types.
4. The same lamp type must be used for the same or similar types of lighting throughout a development.
D. Mounting Location. Exterior lighting shall be mounted and configured in such a manner so that the cone of illumination is contained on-site and does not cross any lot line around the perimeter of the site (see Figure 5.4.6.D: Mounting Location).
E. Appearance.
1. Exterior lighting fixtures shall be designed as an integral element that complements the design of the project through compatible style, material, and color.
2. Exterior lighting fixtures shall be designed in a consistent and coordinated manner for the entire site.
