The provisions of §§
195-57.4 and
195-57.5 herein below shall be deemed design standards and not zoning regulations except for those provisions regulating the type, light sources and height of lighting fixtures and maximum footcandle levels at property lines, and for the front yard setback averaging requirements of §
195-57.7 which shall be deemed zoning regulations.
The following outdoor lighting requirements
for all site plans shall apply:
A. Site lighting fixtures shall be Stemberg "Carson City"
or approved equal. The poles/fixtures shall be black. The light source
and optics shall be shielded in the cap of the luminaire. The lantern
shall include a frosted glass chimney. The mounting height to the
source shall be a maximum of 16 feet. For parking lots with less than
15 stalls, the maximum mounting height shall be 14 feet. The light
source shall be white of appropriate minimum wattage. Poles shall
be straight, tapered poles. Fixture and pole details may be obtained
from the Borough Engineer's office.
B. Sites shall provide adequate lighting with fixtures in compliance with Subsection
A above. All fixtures shall minimize adverse visual impacts, such as glare, light spillage and overhead sky glow, on adjacent properties and on any public right-of-way. Light cutoff shields shall be provided, if required in addition to the standard internal light shields, where fixtures abut residential uses and in other locations as directed by the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment, as the case may be.
C. Along sidewalks, walkways, courtyards, community greens and interior open spaces, lighting complying with the design standards of Subsection
A above shall be installed in accordance with a lighting plan that shall be approved by the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment with the advice of the Board Engineer.
D. Incandescent light sources may be used for single-
and two-family dwellings which are exempt by statute from site plan
review.
E. Building facade lights and yard post lighting shall
be incorporated into the overall lighting plan design; all fixtures
shall be of compatible design and detail with site lights. Facade
floodlights or “wall washer” fixtures are prohibited.
F. Lighting for permitted freestanding signs shall be
by an external ground-mounted fixture or fixtures shielded from adjoining
properties and any public street or right-of-way.
G. Lighting levels at all property lines shall not exceed
0.1 footcandle except where driveways meet a public street.
All signage shall comply with §
215-8, Billboards, sign boards and advertising signs, and shall be consistent with the theme of the village center as defined in the 2006 Master Plan.
Where there are two or more buildings preexisting
in the block fronting on Main Street, the front setback line of any
new proposed building shall be, instead of the specific distance for
the zone, within three feet of the average of the setback observed
by the adjacent building to the left and the adjacent building to
the right, or if the other buildings are all to the left or all to
the right, then the average of the setbacks observed by the adjacent
and the next adjacent buildings, in both cases exclusive of garages
or any other accessory use structures.
