[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:
(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.

[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)
