A. 
The City of Brentwood recognizes that some public areas need to be illuminated at night and that residents and businesses have the right to illuminate their properties for safety and commerce. Conversely, the City also recognizes that artificial light at night impacts environmental conservation and public health. This outdoor lighting Section applies to all new construction, and to replacement of existing exterior lamps and lighting fixtures on properties other than property used exclusively for single-family and two-family residential structures. Retrofits to existing outdoor lighting fixtures are not required. However, whenever light bulbs on properties other than single-family and two-family residential structures are replaced in existing outdoor lighting fixtures, the replacement bulbs must not exceed a Correlated Color Temperature rating of three thousand (3,000) degrees Kelvin unless the owner of the fixture establishes to the satisfaction of the reasonable administrative judgment of the Director of Planning and Development that the fixture cannot operate with reasonable efficiency without using a bulb with a rating greater than three thousand (3,000) degrees. These regulations are intended to:
1. 
Protect the public health, safety and general welfare;
2. 
Enable the fair and consistent enforcement of these regulations;
3. 
Control light spillover and glare to reduce the degradation of the sky from light pollution and preserve views of the night sky;
4. 
Encourage lighting systems which conserve and promote energy efficiency, community health and costs;
5. 
Preserve community character, and promote harmony between neighbors;
6. 
Provide for nighttime safety, utility, security, and productivity.
B. 
The following standards shall apply to all exterior light fixtures within the City:
1. 
The light from any luminaire, the light source and its enclosure including any reflectors or other devices for the control of light, but excluding bracket arms or posts for support or mounting, shall be shaded, shielded or directed to prevent direct light from being cast upon any adjacent property and to prevent glare or other objectionable problems to surrounding areas.
2. 
Lighting fixtures shall not exceed sixteen (16) feet in height, unless specifically permitted by site plan approval in accordance with Article II, Division 9.
3. 
Lamps located on property used for anything other than single-family and two-family residential structures may not exceed a Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of three thousand (3,000) Kelvin.
4. 
No luminaire shall have any blinking, flashing or fluttering lights or other illuminating device which has a changing light intensity, brightness or color, nor will any beacon lights be permitted.
5. 
Neither the direct nor reflected light from any luminaire shall create a disabling glare causing traffic hazards to motor vehicle operators on public thoroughfares.
C. 
All light fixtures/lamps/bulbs lawfully installed and operable prior to the effective date of this Section are exempt from all requirements of this Section; provided, however, that if an existing lamp or fixture on property used for other than single-family and two-family residential structures is replaced, replacement lamps fixtures must conform to these requirements.
D. 
Lighting systems and standards for major outdoor recreation facilities as determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission, such as athletic fields, stadiums, tennis courts or swimming pools, shall require approval of a conditional use permit in accordance with Article II, Division 6.
[R.O. 2009 §25-357; Ord. No. 2739 §§43-59.1 — 43-59.3, 5-20-1985; Ord. No. 3033 §16, 10-16-1989]
Temporary buildings that are used in conjunction with construction work only may be permitted in any district during the period that the building is being constructed, but such temporary buildings shall be removed upon completion of the construction work as determined by the Director of Planning and Development and in no case to exceed sixty (60) days after the last certificate of occupancy is issued.

a. 
The name of the person on whose behalf the facilities are to be installed and the name, address, and telephone number of a representative whom the City may notify or contact at any time (i.e., twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week) concerning the facilities;

(1) 
A material violation of the facilities permit or this Chapter and Chapter 615 of this Code;
(2) 
An evasion or attempt to evade any material provision of the permit or this Section and Chapter 615 of this Code, or the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any fraud or deceit upon the City or its residents;

Facilities Regulations.
1. 
The following general regulations apply to the placement and appearance of facilities:
a. 
Facilities shall be placed underground, except when other similar facilities exist above ground or when conditions are such that underground construction is impossible, impractical or economically unfeasible, as determined by the City, and when in the City's judgment the above ground construction has minimal aesthetic impact on the area where the construction is proposed. Facilities shall not be located so as to interfere, or be likely to interfere, with any public facilities or use of public property.
b. 
Facilities shall be located in such a manner as to reduce or eliminate their visibility. Non-residential zoning districts are preferred to residential zoning districts. Preferred locations in order of priority in both type districts are:
(1) 
Thoroughfare landscape easements,
(2) 
Rear yards, and
(3) 
Street side yards on a corner lot behind the front yard setback.
Placements within side yards not bordered by a street or within front yards are discouraged.
c. 
Facilities shall be a neutral color and shall not be bright, reflective, or metallic. Black, gray and tan shall be considered neutral colors, as shall any color that blends with the surrounding dominant color and helps to camouflage the facilities. Sight-proof screening, landscape or otherwise, may be required for facilities taller than three (3) feet in height or covering in excess of four (4) square feet in size. Such screening shall be sufficient to reasonably conceal the facility. A landscape plan identifying the size and species of landscaping materials shall be approved by the Director prior to installation of any facility requiring landscape screening. The person responsible for the facilities shall be responsible for the installation, repair, or replacement of screening materials. Alternative concealment may be approved by the Director to the extent it meets or exceeds the purposes of these requirements.
d. 
Facilities shall be constructed and maintained in a safe manner and so as to not emit any unnecessary or intrusive noise and in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the National Electrical Safety Code, and all other applicable Federal, State, or local laws and regulations.
e. 
No person shall place or cause to be placed any sort of signs, advertisements, or other extraneous markings on the facilities, except such necessary minimal markings approved by the City as necessary to identify the facilities for service, repair, maintenance or emergency purposes or as may be otherwise required to be affixed by applicable law or regulation.
f. 
If the application of this Subsection excludes locations for facilities to the extent that the exclusion conflicts with the reasonable requirements of the applicant, the Director shall cooperate in good faith with the applicant to attempt to find suitable alternatives, but the City shall not be required to incur any financial cost or to acquire new locations for the applicant.
2. 
Any person installing, repairing, maintaining, removing, or operating facilities, and the person on whose behalf the work is being done, shall protect from damage any and all existing structures and property belonging to the City and any other person. Any and all rights-of-way, public property, or private property disturbed or damaged during the work shall be repaired or replaced, and the responsible person shall immediately notify the owner of the fact of the damaged property. Such repair or replacement shall be completed within a reasonable time specified by the Director and to the Director's satisfaction.
3. 
The applicant shall provide written notice to all property owners within one hundred eighty-five (185) feet of the site at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any installation, replacement or expansion of its facilities. Notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of work to be done, the location of work, and the time and duration of the work.
4. 
At the City's direction, a person owning or controlling facilities shall protect, support, disconnect, relocate, or remove facilities, at its own cost and expense, when necessary to accommodate the construction, improvement, expansion, relocation, or maintenance of streets or other public works or to protect the ROW or the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. 
If a person installs facilities without having complied with the requirements of this Section and Chapter 615 of this Code, or abandons the facilities, said person shall remove the facilities, and if the person fails to remove the facilities within a reasonable period of time, the City may, to the extent permitted by law, have the removal done at the person's expense.
6. 
Facilities shall be subject to all other applicable regulations and standards as established as part of the City Code, including, but not limited to, building codes, zoning requirements and rights-of-way management regulations in addition to the regulations provided herein.
