Rosemead Municipal Code Ch. 17.88 Lighting

The lighting provisions contained in this chapter shall apply to all multifamily residential, commercial, industrial, residential/commercial mixed-use or commercial/industrial mixed-use development.

(Ord. No. 931, § 5(Exh. A), 10-22-13)

A. A photometric survey (lighting plan) may be required at the discretion of the Community Development Director for new lighting proposed in multifamily, commercial, industrial, institutional, and mixed-use developments.

B. All developments shall have exterior lighting that provides adequate visibility at entrances, public sidewalks, open areas, and parking lots with a safe level of illumination at night.

C. Exterior lighting shall be of low intensity and shielded so that light will not spill out onto surrounding properties or project above the horizontal plane. In residential/commercial mixed-use and commercial/industrial mixed-use development, the lighting for commercial uses shall be appropriately shielded so that it does not negatively impact the on-site residential units.

D. Flashing, revolving, or intermittent exterior lighting visible from any property line or street shall be prohibited, except if approved in conjunction with a public art project or as an accessory feature on a temporary basis in conjunction with a special event permit.

E. Lighting shall be integrated with landscaping wherever possible.
