2. 
Exemptions.
(i) 
Lighting within a state-owned right-of-way for the principal purpose of illuminating streets or roads.

2. 
Automatic lighting reduction requirements.
(i) 
Lighting curfew. Total outdoor lighting lumens shall be reduced by at least thirty percent (30%) or extinguished according to the most restrictive of the following:
(1) 
A period beginning at midnight and continuing until 6 AM; or

When, in the opinion of the Planning Director, lighting levels must be maintained.
3. 
Adaptive controls. All new publicly owned lights, including streetlights, will incorporate adaptive controls (e.g. timers, motion-sensors, and light-sensitive switches) to actively regulate the emission of light from light fixtures such that the lighting of areas is restricted to times, places and amounts required for safe occupancy.
D. 
Lumen caps.
1. 
The lumen per net acre value is an upper limit and not a design goal; design goals should be the lowest level that meets the requirement of the task.
2. 
Lumen per net acre values exclude governmental owned streetlights used for illumination of public rights-of-way and outdoor recreation facilities.
3. 
Nonresidential property. Total outdoor light output installed on any nonresidential property shall not exceed 50,000 lumens per net acre in any contiguous illuminated area.

1. 
Exception: lighting systems mounted less than 10.5 feet above ground level and having less than 1,000 initial lumens each.
2. 
Warranting: New installations of outdoor lighting will only be installed on public properties and right-of-way (public streets as well as private streets) upon determination by the city manager that a public safety hazard exists in the area to be lit, and that the hazard can only be effectively mitigated through the use of outdoor lighting and not through some other passive means, such as reflectorized roadway paint or markers.
3. 
All street lighting shall have no light emitted above 90 degrees (full cutoff).
G.

All permanent signs may be non-illuminated, illuminated by internal, internal indirect (halo), or lit by external indirect illumination, unless otherwise specified. All illuminated signs shall be extinguished at 11:00 p.m. or within one hour of the end of normal business hours, whichever occurs later. All sign illumination must comply with the correlated color temperature (CCT) requirements of this Section.
2. 
Top-down lighting. Externally illuminated signs shall be lit only from the top of the sign, with fully shielded luminaires designed and installed to prevent light from spilling beyond the physical edges of the sign.
3. 
Outdoor internally illuminated signs (whether free standing or building mounted) shall be subject to all the following requirements:
(i) 
The sign must be constructed with an opaque background and translucent letters and symbols or with a colored background and lighter letters and symbols.
(ii) 
The internally illuminated portion of the sign cannot be white, cream, off-white, light tan, yellow or any light color unless it is part of a registered logo that does not have an alternate version with dark tones. Light tone colors such as white, cream, off-white, light tan, yellow or any light color are permitted in the logo only, provided that such colors in the logo shall represent not more than 33 percent of the total sign area permitted.
(iii) 
The internal illumination, between sunset and sunrise, is to be the lowest intensity needed to allow the sign to be visible for up to one-half mile from its installation and shall not exceed 100 nits.
(Ordinance 475 adopted 6/28/22)
A. 
For all High-Density Residential, Non-Residential, and Mixed-Use zoning districts (zoning districts R-4, R-5, MU-N, MU-C, MU-TC, CR, P, and PDDs with one or more allowed uses consistent with these districts) or any residential development other than Single-Family Residential with seven residential units or more and having common outdoor areas, all outdoor lighting shall comply either with 6.2.4, Prescriptive Method of Regulatory Compliance or 6.2.5, Performance Method of Regulatory Compliance. Two methods are provided for assessing regulatory compliance:
1. 
Prescriptive method.
(i) 
The Prescriptive Method of Regulatory Compliance contains precise and easily verifiable requirements for luminaire light output and fixture design that limit glare, upward projected light (uplight), light trespass, and the amount of light that can be used.
(ii) 
The prescriptive method constrains total installed initial luminaire lumens based on compliant luminaires and project property conditions and features.
(iii) 
The prescriptive method is most suitable for outdoor lighting projects that do not involve a lighting professional because they are simple and do not require engineering expertise.
2. 
Performance method.
(i) 
The performance method allows greater flexibility and creativity in meeting the intent of this Section 6.2, Lighting.
(ii) 
The performance method establishes system performance metrics for the system as a whole detailing photometric calculations in addition to individual luminaire compliance.
(iii) 
An engineer or lighting professional generally will be required to design within the performance method.
(iv) 
The performance method is most suitable for projects with the following characteristics:
(1) 
Lighting must be evaluated under complex requirements not suitable under the Prescriptive Method;
(2) 
The applicant wants or needs more flexibility in lighting design;
(3) 
The lighting designer plans to aim or direct any light fixture upward (above 90 degrees); or
(4) 
The project requires higher lighting levels compared to typical area lighting.
(Ordinance 475 adopted 6/28/22)
A. 
Total site lumen limit. The total installed initial luminaire lumens of all outdoor lighting shall not exceed the total site lumen limit.

2. 
Only one method shall be used per permit application, and for sites with existing lighting, existing lighting shall be included in the calculation of total installed lumens.
3. 
The total installed initial luminaire lumens is calculated as the sum of the initial luminaire lumens for all luminaires.
B. 
Limits to off-site impacts. All luminaires shall be rated and installed according to subsection 6.2.9, Lighting Design Standards and Metrics. All parking lot lighting shall have no light emitted above 90 degrees.

(Ordinance 475 adopted 6/28/22)
A. 
Total site lumen limit. The total installed initial luminaire lumens of all lighting systems on the site shall not exceed the allowed total initial site lumens. The allowed total initial site lumens shall be determined using the applicable metric listed in subsection 6.2.9, Lighting Design Standards and Metrics. For sites with existing lighting, existing lighting shall be included in the calculation of total installed lumens. The total installed initial luminaire lumens of all luminaires is calculated as the sum of the initial luminaire lumens for all luminaires.
B. 
Limits to off-site impacts. All luminaires shall be rated and installed using one of the options below:
1. 
Categorical assessment option. All luminaires shall be rated and installed according to Section 6.2.2.
2. 
Software modeling option. The entire outdoor lighting designs shall be analyzed using industry standard lighting software including interreflections in the following manner:
(i) 
Input data shall describe the lighting system including luminaire locations, mounting heights, aiming directions, and employing photometric data tested in accordance with IES guidelines. Buildings or other physical objects on the site within three object heights of the property line must be included in the calculations.
(ii) 
Analysis shall utilize an enclosure comprised of calculation planes with zero reflectance values around the perimeter of the site. The top of the enclosure shall be no less than 33 feet (10 meters) above the tallest luminaire. Calculations shall include total lumens upon the inside surfaces of the box top and vertical sides and maximum vertical illuminance (Footcandles or lux) on the sides of the enclosure.
3. 
The design complies if:
(i) 
The total lumens on the inside surfaces of the virtual enclosure are less than 15 percent of the total site lumen limit; and
(ii) 
The maximum vertical illuminance on any vertical surface is less than the allowed maximum illuminance per Section 6.2.9.G.
