Outdoor Lighting Standards
It is recognized that no design can eliminate all ambient light from being reflected or
otherwise being visible from any given development; however, the following
requirements shall be followed to the fullest extent possible in order to limit
nuisances associated with lighting and resulting glare.
All lighting within developments other than single-family residential and duplexes
shall meet the requirements of this Section.
Site Lighting Design Requirements:
Fixture (luminaire): The light source shall not project below an opaque housing.
No fixture shall directly project light horizontally.
Light Source (lamp): Only incandescent, florescent, metal halide, mercury
vapor, or color corrected high-pressure sodium may be used. The same
type must be used for the same or similar types of lighting on any one site
throughout any master-planned development.
Mounting: Fixtures shall be mounted in such a manner that the projected cone
of light does not cross any property line.
