[Ord. 174, 12/20/2017]
All developments shall include a detailed lighting design plan
that will provide for and control of outdoor lighting where public
health, safety and welfare are potential concerns. The lighting shall
be designed to limit glare from nonvehicular light sources, protect
neighbors, the environment and the night sky from nuisance glare and
light trespass and to promote energy-efficient lighting design and
operation.
1. All subdivisions and land developments proposing exterior lighting shall submit a detailed lighting plan conforming to the requirements within this section. The lighting design shall be submitted as part of the preliminary plan process. Residential streetlighting shall be designed in accordance with §
22A-709, Subsection
6, of this chapter.
2. Illumination Levels. Lighting, where required by this chapter, or
otherwise required or allowed by the municipality, shall have illuminances,
uniformities and glare control in accordance with the latest edition
of the IES Lighting Handbook or current recommended practices of the
Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES).
3. Luminaire Design.
A. Luminaires shall be of a type and design appropriate to the lighting
application and shall be decorative and aesthetically acceptable to
the Township.
B. For the lighting of surfaces such as, but not limited to, parking
areas, roadways, vehicular and pedestrian passage areas, storage areas,
automotive sales areas, loading docks, active and passive recreational
areas, building entrances, sidewalks, luminaires shall be aimed straight
down, have no uplight and shall meet IESNA full-cutoff/fully shielded
criteria. All lighting proposed shall be certified Dark Sky-compliant.
In the case of decorative streetlighting luminaires, the municipality
may approve the use of luminaires with an uplight component not exceeding
1%.
C. For the lighting of predominantly nonhorizontal surfaces such as,
but not limited to, facades, landscaping, signs, billboards, fountains,
displays and statuary, when such lighting is specifically approved
by the municipality, it shall be shielded and shall be installed and
aimed so as to not project light output into the windows of neighboring
residences, adjacent uses, past the object being illuminated, skyward
or onto a public roadway.
D. Lamps shall be LED light sources with a correlated color temperature
that does not exceed 4000K.
4. Lighting Control.
A. All lighting shall be aimed, located, designed, fitted and maintained
so as not to present a hazard to drivers or pedestrians by impairing
their ability to safely traverse and so as not to create a nuisance
by projecting or reflecting objectionable light onto a neighboring
use or property.
B. Directional fixtures, e.g., floodlights and spotlights, shall be
shielded around the light source, installed and aimed to prevent exposed
light source from being directly visible from abutting streets or
lots.
C. The illumination projected from any property onto a residential use
shall not exceed 0.1 initial footcandle, measured line-of-sight from
any point on the receiving property.
D. The illumination projected from any property to a nonresidential
use at no time shall exceed 0.1 initial footcandle, measured line-of-sight
from any point on the receiving property.
E. Externally illuminated billboards and signs shall be lighted by fixtures
mounted at the top of the billboard or sign and aimed downward. The
fixtures shall be designed, shielded and aimed to shield the source
from off-site view and to restrict the light output onto and not beyond
the sign or billboard. At no point on the face of the sign or billboard
shall the illumination exceed 30 initial vertical footcandles.
F. The United States and the state flag shall be permitted to be illuminated
from dusk till dawn. All other flags shall not be illuminated past
11:00 p.m. The light source shall have a beam spread no greater than
necessary to illuminate the flag and shall be fully shielded.
G. Under-canopy lighting, for such applications as gas/service stations,
hotel/theater marquees, and commercial drive-ups, shall be accomplished
using flat-lens full-cutoff fixtures aimed straight down and shielded.
The illumination in the area directly below the canopy shall not exceed
20 average footcandles and the maximum shall not exceed 30 footcandles.
H. The use of white strobe lighting for tall structures such as smokestacks,
chimneys and radio/communications/television towers is prohibited
during hours of darkness, except as specifically required by FAA.
5. Installation.
A. Electrical feeds for lighting poles shall be run underground, bedded
and encased in accordance with current National Electric Code (NEC)
standards. Warning tape shall be placed within the entire trench length
at a depth of 18 inches.
B. Poles supporting luminaires located within parking areas or directly
behind parking spaces, or where they could be hit by snow plows or
wide-swinging vehicles, shall be suitably protected by being placed
a minimum of five feet outside paved area or tire stops, or placed
on concrete foundations at least 30 inches high above the pavement.
C. Except for streetlighting and public recreational lighting covered
elsewhere in this chapter, fixtures shall be mounted at a maximum
height of 25 feet above finished grade.
D. Pole-mounted fixtures for the illumination of horizontal tasks shall
be aimed straight down and poles shall be plumb.
E. Pole foundations shall be designed consistent with manufacturer's
wind load requirements and local soil conditions involved and shall
be approved by a qualified civil/structural engineer and meet all
applicable building code requirements.
F. Any employed shielding elements shall be permanently affixed to luminaire.
