Such facilities shall be designed and used in such a manner
as to at no time constitute a nuisance, a hazard or an unreasonable
impediment to traffic.
A.
Purpose. This section sets forth minimum criteria for the installation,
use and maintenance of exterior lighting, the purposes of which are
the following:
(1)
To require lighting in outdoor public spaces where safety and
security are concerns;
(2)
To protect drivers and pedestrians on nearby streets from glare
from nonvehicular light sources that shine directly into their eyes
and thereby impair safe travel;
(3)
To shield neighboring properties from glare resulting from excessive
light sources and from nonexistent or improperly directed or shielded
light sources;
(4)
To limit the height of light standards to preclude or lessen
light pollution; and
(5)
To promote efficient design and operation with regard to energy
conservation.
B.
Applicability. Lighting facilities shall be required for all off-street
parking areas and off-street loading areas and for all driveways providing
ingress and egress thereto and for all subdivisions and/or land developments
for business, commercial, personal service, industrial, multifamily,
recreational, institutional and public uses and for all construction
or reconstruction or improvement of any such use for which land development
approval is not required. In the approval of any subdivision or land
development plan, the Borough Council shall have the authority to
require lighting to be incorporated for other uses or locations where
in their reasonable discretion such lighting is warranted. In addition,
the provisions of this section shall apply to signs, architectural
lighting, and landscape lighting.
C.
Plan submission.
(1)
Lighting plans shall be submitted for review and approval for all subdivisions and land developments and for all uses identified in Subsection B of this section, and shall include the following data:
(a)
A schematic layout of all proposed exterior fixtures;
(b)
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) footcandle
data;
(c)
A plat demonstrating intensities and uniformities within the limitations established in Subsection D of this section;
(d)

grid.
D.
Commercial lighting standards.
(1)
Lighting facilities located in any off-street parking areas and loading areas and for uses and developments specified in Subsection B, or in connection with signs and recreational and institutional activities, shall provide an illumination level utilizing the current recommended standards of the Illuminating Engineering Society of America (IESNA), except as otherwise modified by the provisions of this Subsection D(1). However, in any instance in which the principal use of the property requires the granting of either a special exception or conditional use, the Zoning Hearing Board may impose a more stringent lighting standard requiring less illumination as a condition of any such approval when it determines the same to be necessary to protect the adjoining properties or streets from light pollution or glare.
(2)
When illumination is required, it shall have the intensity and
uniformity ratios in the Lighting Handbook of the Illuminating Engineering
Society of America (IESNA), Ninth Edition, except as modified herein
as follows:

35.0 MFC is the maximum permitted and is limited to the first
100 feet of outdoor display or parking along any street frontage,
subject to otherwise applicable setbacks mandated by the district
regulations. The remainder of the property shall be limited to 20.0
MFC, except for the rear yard, which shall be limited to 10 MFC.
|
(3)
In the application of the above standards, the following regulations
shall apply:
(a)
Illumination levels shall be defined as maintained horizontal
footcandles on the area; for example, on the pavement or area surface.
(b)
Uniformity ratios dictate that average illumination values shall
not exceed minimum values by more than the product of the minimum
value and the specified ratio. For example, in the case of high-activity
commercial parking, the average footcandles shall not be in excess
of 3.6 (0.9 x 4).
(c)
In no case shall illumination exceed 0.5 footcandle measured at the property lines, except at driveway entrances, provided the illumination at the cartway center line of the contiguous street shall not exceed 1.0 footcandle, unless a more stringent standard is required by another provision of this Subsection D; and the amount of illumination projected onto a property zoned or in residential use from another property shall not exceed 0.5 footcandle at the property line.
(d)
Lighting standards in parking areas shall be located no more than 100 feet apart, provided the Zoning Officer shall apply the standards of this Subsection D by prohibiting the location of lighting standards in such close proximity to each other as would result in the violation of the footcandle and light spillage restrictions imposed by Subsection D(2).
(e)
Lamp types and colors shall be in harmony with the adjacent
community, any special circumstances existing on the site, and with
surrounding installations. Lamp types and colors shall be consistent
with the use and setting and shall not create a mix of colors.
(f)
Canopy lighting shall be located on the surface (ceiling) of
the canopy and shall be limited to flush-lens fixtures mounted on
the canopy ceiling. Drop-lens fixtures are prohibited. Up-lens lighting
fixtures mounted on the canopy structure above the level of the gas
pumps are permitted if they have the effect of reducing glare from
the lighting fixtures mounted on the canopy ceiling. In no event shall
any other lighting fixtures be located on or otherwise attached to
or used to light a canopy or any area of the property adjacent to
the canopy. Outdoor canopies include, but are not limited to, the
following applications:
(g)
All lighting proposed for use after 10:00 p.m. for commercial,
industrial, institutional and recreational applications shall be reduced
by 75% from then until dawn, unless a variance is granted by the Zoning
Hearing Board upon cause shown related to public health, welfare and
safety.
(4)
Glare control.
(a)
All lighting fixtures shall meet IESNA cutoff criteria. No lighting
shall be permitted which shines directly into residential units, or
results in glare beyond the angle of 30° from a vertical plane,
measured from the light source.
(b)
Light fixtures, including mounting base, shall not exceed 20
feet in height above the finished grade. On-lot residential light
fixtures shall not exceed 15 feet in height above the finished grade.
(c)
All lighting sources shall be effectively shielded and shall
be installed and/or aimed so as to shield nearby public or private
streets and neighboring properties from direct-glare light radiation
or light pollution which may create a safety hazard or nuisance.
(d)
All lighting sources shall be effectively shielded from any
public right-of-way.
(e)
Illuminated signs shall have an indirect lighting source or
shielded source.
(f)
All lighting sources shall be controlled by automatic timing
devices to extinguish light, except for demonstrably necessary security
lighting after 10:00 p.m. prevailing time, to mitigate the adverse
consequences of light pollution when such action is necessary to protect
adjacent properties and uses.
(g)
Glare control shall be accomplished primarily through the proper
selection and application of lighting equipment. Only after those
means have been exhausted shall vegetation, fences, and similar screening
methods be considered acceptable for reducing glare.
(h)
Fixtures used for architectural lighting, such as facade, feature
and landscape lighting, shall be aimed or directed so as to preclude
light projection beyond the immediate objects intended to be illuminated.
All such lighting shall be extinguished between the hours of midnight,
prevailing time, and dawn.
(i)
In all residential districts or in connection with residential
uses, floodlighting, spotlighting, and other high-intensity lighting
over 100 watts shall be located so that glare or reflection is not
greater than 0.5 footcandle at the lot line of the receiving land.
Such lighting fixtures shall be installed and/or aimed so that they
do not project their output into windows of neighboring residences,
adjacent uses, skyward, or onto a public street. All such lighting
shall be extinguished after 10:00 p.m. prevailing time, except in
the case of an emergency.
(j)
With the exception of all night operations, lighting for commercial,
industrial, public recreational and industrial applications shall
be controlled by automatic switching devices, such as time clocks
or combination motion detectors and photocells, to permit extinguishing
outdoor lighting fixtures between 10:00 p.m. and dawn, to mitigate
nuisance glare and sky-lighting consequences.
(k)
The operation of searchlights or laser source light for advertising
purposes is prohibited.
(l)
All fixtures used for the lighting of active recreation facilities
shall be fully shielded to prevent glare external to the property
line.
(5)
Installation and maintenance.
(a)
The developer/landowner shall install or cause to be installed all lighting fixtures and facilities at his/its expense. Light fixtures and poles shall be in accordance with a lighting plan approved by the Borough Engineer in those instances where subdivision or land development approval or conditional use approval is not involved or otherwise approved by the Board upon recommendation by the Planning Commission and Borough Engineer, in compliance with § 420-1204. The developer/landowner shall be responsible for all costs involved in the maintenance, upkeep and operation of all lighting of parking and loading areas and other areas required by § 420-1204.
(b)
Electrical feeds to lighting standards shall be underground.
(6)
Compliance.
(a)
The Borough Council's approval of a lighting plan upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and/or Borough Engineer does not relieve the developer/landowner of responsibility should any light standards or light fixtures, after construction, fail to conform or continue to conform to the provisions of this § 420-1204. The Borough reserves the right to conduct a post-installation nighttime inspection to verify compliance with the requirements of this § 420-1204 and if, appropriate, to require remedial action at the expense of the landowner.
(b)
Authority for the determination of correct lighting installation in accordance with the requirements of this § 420-1204 shall rest with the Zoning Officer, with advice from the Borough Engineer. If the Zoning Officer determines that any lighting installation creates a safety or personal security hazard due to insufficient illumination levels or produces unacceptable levels of nuisance glare, light pollution, or skyward light, the landowner or other person/entity then responsible for the use, maintenance and operation of the lighting shall be so notified and required to take timely remedial action at the expense of the landowner or other responsible person/entity.
A.
Applicability. Standards set forth in this section shall be of uniform
applicability in all zoning districts unless the contrary is indicated.
B.
Corner lot restrictions.
(1)
Each corner lot shall have two front yards that meet the minimum
requirements for front yard setbacks in the underlying zoning district.
(2)
The remaining two yards will serve as the side yard and rear
yard, and shall comply with the side and rear yard requirements of
the underlying zoning district.
C.
Potential development. Proposed development shall be constructed
in a manner so that it does not reduce or eliminate existing or potential
future access for roads and utility easements to land which may be
developed at a future date.
