[Ord. #585, § 612A]
Streetlighting of a type supplied by a utility
company and of a type and number approved by the Township Engineer
shall be provided where deemed necessary for safety reasons. Wherever
electric utility installations are required to be underground, the
applicant shall also provide for underground service for streetlighting.
[Ord. #858, § 612B; Ord. #641;
Ord. #760, § 50]
All areas between buildings, other than single-family
or twin residential buildings, all parking areas and walkways and
all passageways and driveways serving commercial, public, office,
industrial or multifamily uses shall be adequately illuminated for
security and safety reasons. The lighting plan in and around the parking
areas shall provide for nonglare lights focused downward. For parking
areas in nonresidential zones, lighting shall be provided by standards
with a mounting height not more than 20 feet or the height of the
building, whichever is less, unless the standard is located within
250 feet of a residential zone, in which case the mounting height
shall not exceed 12 feet. Mounting height shall be measured from the
ground level to the center line of the light source. Standards for
other than pedestrian walkway lighting shall be spaced a distance
not to exceed five times the mounting height. Any other outdoor lighting
such as building and sidewalk illumination, driveways with no adjacent
parking, lighting of signs and ornamental lighting shall be as shown
on the lighting plan in sufficient detail to allow determination of
effects on adjacent properties, traffic safety and overhead sky glow.
The objective of these specifications is to minimize undesirable off-premises
effects. No light shall shine into windows or onto streets and driveways
in such a manner as to interfere with or distract driver vision. To
achieve these requirements, the intensity of such light sources, the
method of light shielding and similar specifications shall be subject
to development plan approval.
