property boundary and onto another public or private property is a
nuisance or detracts from the use or enjoyment of adjacent property.
(B)

Across Property Lines.
All outside lights must be made
up of a light source and reflector designed such that the light beam
is controlled and not directed across any of the property’s
boundaries onto other public or private property above a height of
three feet.
(C)
Maximum
Intensity.
The allowable maximum intensity measured at
the property line is 0.5 footcandle above the ambient light level,
except as may be otherwise specified within this Article 7 for specific
lighting situations.
(Ordinance 6773 adopted 5/19/15)
(A)
General.
Light sources must be of a down-light, indirect, diffused or

(B)
Appearance
& Height.
Lighting standards, poles, and fixtures must be a single color compatible with the architecture of the building(s) served. The height of the standards, poles, and fixtures, excluding those mounted on a building, may not exceed the height of the highest roofline of the building(s) within the site, except as provided in Subsection 4.92 (Recreational Area Lighting) or in Table 4-10 (Mounting Heights for Lighting in Parking Areas) in this Article 7.

(B)
Living
Screen Required.
Where recreational uses are adjacent to a residential zoning district or use, separation by streets notwithstanding, and the recreational use is, or will be, illuminated in a manner that produces a light intensity in excess of 0.5 footcandle above the ambient light level at the property line of the residential district or use, or where the light source is exposed to the residential district or use, a living screen (in addition to or to supplement any perimeter screening, if required by Subsections 4.39 and 4.40 in Article 3 of this Chapter 4 – if large canopy trees are required pursuant to those Subsections, then the tree requirement below supersedes and does not duplicate that requirement) is required in accordance with the following provisions:
(1)
A
variety of large canopy trees that normally grow to, or in excess
of, a height of thirty feet must be provided at twenty-five feet on
center along the property perimeter abutting the residential use.
At least seventy-five percent of the required trees must be evergreen
species for year-round screening, and the trees must be regularly
spaced along the perimeter.
(2)
The
trees required above must be of species and planting height that will
achieve (within five years following planting), and maintain, a crown
width sufficient to form a continuous screen at heights between ten
feet and thirty feet above grade.
(C)
Lighting
Plan; Line-of-Sight Study.
Submission and approval of a Lighting Plan (in accordance with Section 4.88 of this Article 7) and graphic Line-of-Sight Sketches may be required by the Planning Director to help assess the potential lighting impact for any location on a recreational site that is adjacent to a residential district or use. Upon review of a Lighting Plan and Sketches, the Planning Director may require additional screening if determined necessary by the Planning Director to protect adjacent properties.

Illumination.
All outdoor pedestrian areas and walkways must be illuminated.
The level of intensity of illumination, measured at the walkway surface,
must be a minimum average of 0.8 footcandles, distributed at an average-to-minimum
uniformity ratio of at least 5:1. Walkway lighting may be provided
by pedestrian-scale bollard-style fixtures, or may be provided by
other means, such as parking lot or building-mounted fixtures.
(B)
Fixture
Height.
The mounting height of luminaire fixtures may
not exceed twelve feet.
