All parking areas and walkways thereto and appurtenant passageways and driveways serving commercial, public, office, industrial, apartment or other similar uses having common off-street parking and/or loading areas, and building complexes requiring area lighting shall be adequately illuminated for security and safety purposes. The lighting plan in and around the parking areas shall provide for nonglare, color corrected lights focused downward. The light intensity provided at ground level shall be a minimum of three-tenths (.3) footcandle anywhere in the area to be illuminated, shall average a minimum of five-tenths (.5) footcandle over the entire area, and shall be provided by fixtures with a mounting height not more than twenty-five (25) feet or the height of the building, whichever is less, measured from the ground level to the centerline of the light source and spaced a distance not to exceed five (5) times the mounting height. Any other outdoor lighting such as sidewalk illumination, driveways with no adjacent parking, the lighting of signs and ornamental lighting shall be shown on the lighting plan in sufficient detail to allow determination of the effects to adjacent properties, traffic safety and overhead sky glow. The objective of these specifications is to minimize undesirable off-premises effects. No direct lighting shall be permitted. Additionally, no light shall shine into windows or onto streets and driveways in such manner as to interfere with or distract driver vision. To achieve these requirements, the intensity of such light sources, the light shielding and similar characteristics shall be subject to site plan approval by the Board.

Street lighting of a type supplied by the utility and of a type and number approved by the Township Engineer shall be provided for all street intersections and along all arterial, collector and local streets and anywhere else deemed necessary for safety reasons. Wherever electric utility installations are required to be underground, the applicant shall provide for underground service for street lighting.
