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. The applicant shall provide for underground service for street lighting.

All parking areas and walkways thereto and appurtenant passageways and driveways serving commercial, public, office, multiple family or other uses having common off-street parking and/or loading areas shall be adequately illuminated for security and safety purposes. The lighting plan in and around the parking areas shall provide for nonglare full cut-off lights (monochromatic preferred) focused downward. The light intensity provided at ground level shall be indicated in footcandles on the submitted site plans and shall average at least 0.5 footcandle and not exceed a maximum of 1.0 footcandle. Lighting shall be provided by fixtures with a mounting height not more than 25 feet or the height of the building, whichever is less, measured from the ground level to the centerline of the light source, spaced a distance not to exceed five times the mounting height.

Any outdoor lighting such as building and 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 a determination of the effects upon adjacent properties, traffic safety and overhead sky glow. The objective of these specifications is to minimize undesirable off-premises effects. No light shall shine into windows or onto streets and driveways in a manner as to interfere with or distract driver vision. The intensity of the light sources, the light shielding and similar characteristics shall be subject to site plan approval. Wall mounted fixtures are only permitted if directed into a site and not positioned towards neighboring properties or public streets.

The maximum cutoff angle shall be used to shield light source glare and unwanted light from adjacent properties and motorists approaching on bounding roads and highways. Light spillage of more than 0.2 footcandles onto adjacent properties shall be prohibited. No lights shall be of a rotating, pulsating or other intermittent frequency.

The following information shall be submitted for review and approval of all lighting systems:
