1.

Historically appropriate lighting should be used for the renovation of all historic projects. For new construction, exterior lighting should be architecturally integrated with the building style, material and colors.

2.

In the absence of appropriate historic lighting models, concealed, vandal resistant up-lighting should be employed for lighting monuments or noteworthy buildings.

3.

Excessive illumination of the signage, building or site should be avoided. Roof lighting, down-lighting washing the building walls, and illuminated awnings are all strongly discouraged.

4.

Exterior lighting of the building and site should be designed so that light is not directed off the site and the light source is shielded from direct offsite viewing.

5.

Fixture mounting height should be appropriate for the project and the setting. Use of low, bollard-type fixtures are encouraged as pedestrian area lighting. The mounting height of fixtures in smaller parking lots or service areas should not exceed sixteen feet (16'), with lower mounting heights encouraged, particularly where adjacent to residential areas or other sensitive land uses.

6.

Raised light pole bases should be attractively designed and well detailed to be compatible with the overall project. The use of "sonotube" type concrete pole bases is discouraged.

7.

Exterior lighting sources that provide full-spectrum white light (metal halide lamps or approved equal) are strongly encouraged.

8.

Full cutoff lighting is strongly encouraged.
