Lighting Requirements For Structures, Site, And Landscape Plant Material.
(1)
The style, color, and design of the fixtures shall be compatible with the overall design and materials for the building.
(2)
All lighting shall be shielded such that the source of illumination (filament, frosted bulb or the reflection of those from a shiny surface) is not visible from the property line thereby reducing glare and interference with boundary streets and adjacent properties. Light fixtures near adjacent property may require special shielding devices to prevent light trespass.
(3)
All lighting sources (including, but not limited to, street, parking lot, security, walkway and building) shall be downcast and fully shielded with the following exceptions:
(4)
Floodlights with external shielding can be deflected up to twenty-five degrees (25°) from a vertical plane as measured through the central axis of the light beam from the luminaire, only if the luminaire does not cause glare or light to shine on adjacent property or public rights-of-way.
COMPLIANT FLOODLIGHT ANGLE |
|---|
 |
(5)
Uplighting for flags, address markers, trees, architectural features, and low-voltage landscape lighting provided the luminaire is located, aimed, and shielded so that direct illumination is focused exclusively on the object and away from adjoining properties and the public street right-of-way. Architectural features may be illuminated by uplighting, provided that the light is effectively contained by the structure. In all cases, uplighting must not cause glare or light trespass.
(6)
All exterior light fixtures (including, but not limited to, mounted on the building, used for a sign or freestanding) shall comply with the following regulations:
(7)
Temporary (two (2) days or less) high intensity discharge floodlighting may be used for sports lighting and City sponsored events provided that the lighting be turned off no later than one (1) hour after the event is concluded. The fixtures must be aimed so that their beams are directed and fall within the primary playing or performance area.
(8)
All permanent sports and event lighting shall be equipped with a glare control package (louvers, shields, or similar devices) and the fixtures must be aimed so that beams are directed and fall within the primary playing area and light trespass is minimized.

Light standards shall be no higher than twenty (20) feet from the finished grade and the light source must be recessed or covered so that there is no bare bulb showing. (See Lighting Standards above.)
(3)

Lighting Requirements For Structures, Site, And Landscape Plant Material.
(1)
The style, color, and design of the fixtures shall be compatible with the overall design and materials for the building.
(2)
All lighting shall be shielded such that the source of illumination (filament, frosted bulb or the reflection of those from a shiny surface) is not visible from the property line thereby reducing glare and interference with boundary streets and adjacent properties. Light fixtures near adjacent property may require special shielding devices to prevent light trespass.
(3)
All lighting sources (including, but not limited to, street, parking lot, security, walkway and building) shall be downcast and fully shielded with the following exceptions:
(4)
Floodlights with external shielding can be deflected up to twenty-five degrees (25°) from a vertical plane as measured through the central axis of the light beam from the luminaire, only if the luminaire does not cause glare or light to shine on adjacent property or public rights-of-way.
COMPLIANT FLOODLIGHT ANGLE |
|---|
|
(5)
Uplighting for flags, address markers, trees, architectural features, and low-voltage landscape lighting provided the luminaire is located, aimed, and shielded so that direct illumination is focused exclusively on the object and away from adjoining properties and the public street right-of-way. Architectural features may be illuminated by uplighting, provided that the light is effectively contained by the structure. In all cases, uplighting must not cause glare or light trespass.
(6)
All exterior light fixtures (including, but not limited to, mounted on the building, used for a sign or freestanding) shall comply with the following regulations:
(7)
Temporary (two (2) days or less) high intensity discharge floodlighting may be used for sports lighting and City-sponsored events provided that the lighting be turned off no later than one (1) hour after the event is concluded. The fixtures must be aimed so that their beams are directed and fall within the primary playing or performance area.
(8)
All permanent sports and event lighting shall be equipped with a glare control package (louvers, shields, or similar devices) and the fixtures must be aimed so that beams are directed and fall within the primary playing area and light trespass is minimized.
(9)
Projects shall be required to submit a lighting plan that conforms to the standards outlined herein at the time of commercial site plan approval, a conditional use permit, or building permit. The lighting plan and/or specifications shall show:
(a)
The type and luminous intensity of each light source and wattage (e.g., incandescent, halogen, high-pressure sodium);
(b)
The type of fixture (e.g. floodlight, full-cutoff, lantern, coach light);
(c)
Fixture location and height of all proposed and existing freestanding light fixtures;
(d)
Shielding and all mounting details;
(e)
