[Adopted 12-9-2014 by Ord. No. 5327 (Ch. 416 of the 2004
Code)]
The light intensity from sports lights, whether on public or
private property, shall not exceed 0.5 footcandle along any property
line or 0.3 footcandle at a residential property line during the hours
from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Light intensity from sports lights after
10:00 p.m. as measured at a residential property line shall not exceed
0.1 footcandle. The objective of these specifications is to minimize
undesirable off-premises effects. No light shall shine into windows
or onto streets and driveways in such manner as to interfere with
or detract from a resident's quality of life. To achieve these requirements,
the intensity of such light sources shall be controlled with light
shielding or lower-wattage bulbs, or both.
Violation of this article shall be enforced by the Code Enforcement
Officer or his or her designee.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall
be subject to one or more of following: imprisonment in the county
jail, or in any other place provided by the municipality for the detention
of prisoners, for any term not exceeding 90 days, or by a fine not
exceeding $2,000, or by a period of community service not exceeding
90 days, to become effective on the effective date of this section.
