[Ord. 803, 10/7/2002, § 125]
1. 
The requirements of this Part 1E apply to all outdoor lighting installations as follows:
A. 
Outdoor lighting installations which are employed for nighttime area illumination of parking lots, car sales lots, yards, roadways, streets, driveways, walkways, bikeways, cartways, entryways, and similar areas or lots.
B. 
Outdoor lighting installations which are located on any property in any zoning district within the Township of Ferguson except for the following:
(1) 
A lot which is comprised of one single or two family dwelling.
(2) 
A lot which is being used as a farm.
[Ord. 803, 10/7/2002, § 126]
1. 
All luminaries employed in outdoor area and roadway lighting installations shall be the cutoff luminaire type.
A. 
The candlepower distribution classification of the luminaire as a cutoff type shall be in accordance with the ANSI/IES Lighting Definitions and the IES Lighting Handbook. The manufacturer of the luminaire shall provide certification of the cutoff classification based on photometric testing performed in accordance with the IES Lighting Handbook and the applicable testing procedures referenced therein. The requirement for the use of cutoff luminaire types shall include, but is not limited to, the following outdoor area and roadway lighting configurations:
(1) 
Pole-mounted luminaries.
(2) 
Luminaries mounted on the exterior of buildings and structures.
(3) 
Luminaries mounted on or within exterior canopies of buildings and structures.
(4) 
Pedestal- or bollard-mounted luminaries.
B. 
Cutoff luminaries shall be mounted plumb and level in accordance with the intended application of their design. For the purposes of this requirement, the photometric nadir of the luminaire (zero degree vertical angle of the candlepower distribution) shall be oriented plumb and the vertical angle of 90° above nadir (horizontal) shall be oriented level. Cutoff luminaries shall not be installed in a canted or tilted position which permits candlepower distribution above the horizontal.
C. 
Exception. Luminaries which do not meet the strict definition for cutoff luminaries, yet employ advanced or alternative technology which causes the photometric performance to approach that of cutoff luminaries, may be approved by the Township of Ferguson on a case-by-case basis. Such luminaries include, but are not limited to, period-style luminaries with refractive globes and internal cutoff reflectors. Wal-paks are not included in this exception.
D. 
Exception. Luminaries with a total initial lumen output of 10,000 lumens or less shall be permitted for decorative, accent, or supplementary lighting applications provided that glare shields are incorporated which cut off the candlepower distribution at and above the horizontal level.
E. 
With the exception of outdoor sports and recreational lighting, no pole mounted luminaire shall exceed a maximum height of 25 feet.
[Ord. 803, 10/7/2002, § 127]
1. 
The maximum maintained illuminance levels permitted at the property line(s) during the nighttime, produced by the sum of all outdoor area lighting installations on said property, shall be as measured at grade in horizontal footcandles or horizontal lux according to Table 127.
A. 
Exception. By written agreement between the respective property owners, an outdoor lighting installation on one property may illuminate areas or roadways on adjacent properties beyond the property line.
B. 
Exception. This requirement does not apply to outdoor roadway lighting installations intended for the nighttime illumination of public roadways, streets, highways, alleys, cartways, and the like.
C. 
Exception. At designated vehicular, cyclist, and pedestrian entries/exits between properties and public roadways, streets, highways, alleys, cartways, and the like; provided that the excepted area of illumination (maintained illuminance levels at grade) higher than permitted in Table 127 is limited to the said property and the adjoining pavement and right-of-way of public roadways, streets, highways, alleys, cartways, and the like. The excepted area of illumination shall not extend beyond 50 feet from the center line of the designated entry/exit in any direction along the property line(s) of the said property.
Table 127
Maximum Maintained Illuminance Levels Permitted at Property Lines Produced by Outdoor Area Lighting Installations
For outdoor area lighting installations to which the requirements of Part 1E apply:
Maximum maintained illuminance level permitted at property line measured at grade in horizontal footcandles
Maximum maintained illuminance level permitted at property line measured at grade in horizontal lux
Outdoor area lighting installation is located on said property and property line adjoins a public roadway or public right-of-way
0.5
5.4
Outdoor area lighting installation is located on said property and property line adjoins a non-residential property
0.2
2.2
Outdoor area lighting installation is located on said property and property line adjoins a residential property
0.1
1.1
[Ord. 803, 10/7/2002, § 128]
1. 
All outdoor lighting installations which illuminate the area under outdoor canopies shall comply with §§ 4-126 and 4-127. In accordance with the Sign Ordinance [Chapter 19], canopies may not be illuminated, with the exception of the portion which is classified as a sign.
A. 
Outdoor canopies include, but are not limited to, the following applications:
(1) 
Fuel island canopies associated with service stations and convenience stores.
(2) 
Exterior canopies above storefronts in shopping centers and malls.
(3) 
Exterior canopies above driveways and building entrances.
(4) 
Pavilions and gazebos.
[Ord. 803, 10/7/2002, § 129]
The design for all outdoor area and roadway lighting installations, to which the requirements of this Part 1E apply, shall be submitted for review and approval by the Township of Ferguson in accordance with § 4-167 of this Part.
