stations, utility lines, water treatment facilities, correctional
facilities, heavily traveled roadways, government facilities, or other
public utility facilities.
J. It shall be unlawful to knowingly operate an unmanned aircraft system
directly over the private property of another without the property

system between civil twilight and 10:00 P.M. directly above the areas

provided that each light fixture is at a height no less than sixty
(60) feet above the surface of the ground.
