Chapter 14.91 - LIGHTING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

14.91.010 - Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations and a process to review outdoor lighting to accomplish the following:

A.

Minimize direct glare and prevent excessive lighting, thereby minimizing light pollution caused by inappropriate or misaligned light fixtures, and promoting common courtesy among neighbors; and

B.

Provide sufficient lighting where it is needed to promote safety and security; and

C.

Provide standards for efficient and moderate use of lighting; and

D.

Encourage human health benefits and local wildlife safety.

(Ord. No. 2025-529, § 1(App. A), 4-22-2025)

14.91.020 - Definitions.

"Correlated color temperature" or color temperature is a specification of the color appearance of the light emitted by a light source, measured in Kelvin (K). Warmer color temperatures are a lower number, and cooler color temperatures are a higher number.

"Curfew" means the time of day when lighting restrictions are in effect.

"Directional lighting" means methods of directing light downward, rather than upward or outward, with the intention of directing light where it is needed.

"Fully shielded" means a light fixture constructed and installed in such a manner that all light emitted, either directly from the lamp or a diffusing element, or indirectly by reflection or refraction from any part of the fixture, is projected below the horizontal plane (from the bottom of the lamp).

"Glare" means light entering the eye directly from a light fixture or indirectly from reflective surfaces that causes visual discomfort or reduced visibility to a reasonable person.

"Government facilities" means a building or structure, parcel or property, owned, leased, operated, or occupied by the City of Los Altos. Government facilities include any public infrastructure maintained within the City of Los Altos.

"Light pollution" means the material adverse effect of artificial light, including, but not limited to, glare, light trespass, sky glow, energy waste, compromised safety and security, and impacts on the nocturnal environment, including light sources that are left on when they no longer serve a useful function.

"Light trespass" means a condition in which artificial light emitted from a luminaire on one property, not inclusive of light incidentally scattered or reflected from adjacent surfaces, is directed in such a manner that the light source is visible from any other property.

"Lumen" means the common unit of measure used to quantify the amount of visible light produced by a lamp or emitted from a light fixture (as distinct from "Watt," a measure of power consumption).

"Outdoor light fixtures" means outdoor illuminating devices, lamps and similar devices, including solar powered lights, and all parts used to distribute the light and/or protect the lamp, permanently installed or portable; synonymous with "luminaires" affixed to the exterior of a building.

"Seasonal lighting" means lighting installed and operated in connection with holidays or traditions.

"Security lighting" means lighting intended to detect intrusions or other criminal activity occurring on a property or site.

"Skyglow" means the brightening of the nighttime sky that results from scattering and reflection of artificial light by air molecules, moisture, and dust particles in the atmosphere, caused by light directed or reflected upwards or sideways and reduces one's ability to view the night sky.

"String lights" means light sources connected by free-strung wires or inside of tubing resulting in several or many points of light.

(Ord. No. 2025-529, § 1(App. A), 4-22-2025)
