Division 7 — LIGHTING REGULATIONS

Outdoor lighting shall be permitted so as to provide safe pedestrian and vehicular access and to provide security lighting in compliance with the following standards:

(1)

Lights shall be used for the purpose of illumination only, and not designed for or used as an advertising display.

(2)

Light fixtures shall be so designed and adjusted as to reflect light away from the following: any road or street; adjoining premises on which a dwelling is located; or land zoned for other than business or industrial uses.

(3)

Light fixtures for any light source shall be shielded from above in such a manner that the edge of the shield is level with or below the bottom of the light source in order to minimize the direct emission of light above the horizontal. For the purposes of this section, the term light source shall include light-directing refractors and exclude incandescent lamps of two hundred (200) watts or less and light produced directly by the combustion of natural gas or other fuels.

(4)

No light or glare shall be transmitted or reflected in such concentrated quantities or intensities as to be detrimental or harmful to, or to interfere with, the use of surrounding properties or streets.

(5)

The height of light poles shall not exceed a maximum height of forty-five (45) feet; however, light fixtures between twenty-five (25) feet and thirty-five (35) feet are preferred.
