Island Heights City Zoning Code

§ 32-13

EXTERIOR LIGHTING.

[Added 11-10-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-4]
Exterior lighting on any and all properties shall be governed by the following:
a. 
Exterior illumination provided by artificial lighting on a property shall not exceed 0.5 footcandle beyond any property line.
b. 
Spotlights or other types of artificial lighting that provide a concentrated beam of light shall be so directed that the beam of light does not extend beyond any property lines.
c. 
Spotlights or other types of artificial lighting used to illuminate signs or building faces shall not emit beams of light that extend beyond the vertical plane of the sign or any side of the building that they illuminate, and such lighting fixtures shall not be located in such a manner as to cause the beams of light to be reflected upon an adjoining property, public street or vehicular circulation area.
d. 
Exterior lighting on the front of residential properties shall be ambient and soft in nature and shall not extend or reflect beyond any side of the structure that they illuminate. Where additional lighting beyond the structure is warranted for aesthetic, safety or security purposes, additional fixtures may be installed, provided they are in keeping with low-impact soft lighting objectives as appropriate for residential areas and the Island Heights Historic District specifically. All such lighting shall be consistent with other provisions of this regulation.
e. 
The use of light-emitting diode (LED) lights is permitted, provided the color temperature is no greater than 3500K as defined by the Kelvin color temperature charts.
