1. Spot or flood lighting from a building or other structure is prohibited;
2. The overall height of any light, on a pole or building, used to illuminate the property
shall not exceed twenty feet (20');
3. All parking lot lighting shall use full cutoff fixtures along property lines.
5-9-050: Specific Standards.
In addition to the general standards of section 5-9-030 of this section, the following are specific
standards that apply to certain lighting types and circumstances:
1. Canopy Lighting: All direct artificial light sources shall be shielded or recessed and shall
not produce more than an average of twenty-five (25) foot-candles under the canopy;
2. Property Lighting: All artificial outdoor light sources shall not exceed one (1) foot-candle
at property line;
3. Flickering or flashing lights shall not be permitted;
4. Property and Canopy Lighting: Dimming controls shall be installed, which allow the
lighting to dim below the required average foot-candles.
5. Fixtures, Lamps, and Bulbs: Shall not exceed a maximum Correlated Color Temperature
(CCT) of 3,000 degrees Kelvin (as listed on the packaging or otherwise).
5-9-060: Exemptions.
The following light sources are exempt from the requirements of this chapter:
1. Federal and state flag lighting;
2. Seasonal Lighting: Outdoor lighting; provided, it is in compliance with the following:
a. Lighting shall not create a hazard or glare nuisance; and
b. The lighting shall be temporary (less than ninety (90) days in a calendar year);
3. Low-Output Light Source: An artificial light source having an output equal to or less than
one hundred five (105) lumens; provided, that the cumulative lumen output of all low
output light sources shall not exceed a ratio of one and one-half (1½) lumens per square
foot of cumulative illuminated area. This ratio shall be calculated by combining the total
lumen output of each low-output light source divided by the square footage of the area
intended to be illuminated;
4. Motion Sensor Controlled Light Source: An artificial light source that has a light output
equal to or less than nine hundred (900) lumens and is controlled by a motion sensor;
provided, it is in compliance with the following:
a. The motion sensor is set to turn the artificial light source off no more than ten (10)
minutes after the last detection of motion; and
b. The artificial light source is sufficiently shielded in a manner that prevents light
trespass;
