§ 15-2508. LIGHTING AND GLARE.

Activities, processes, and uses shall be operated in compliance with the following provisions:

A.

Mechanical or Chemical Processes. Light or glare from mechanical or chemical processes, high-temperatures processes such as combustion or welding, or from reflective materials on buildings or used or stored on a site, shall be shielded or modified to prevent emission of adverse light or glare onto other properties.

B.

Lighting. Lights shall be placed to deflect light away from adjacent properties and public streets, and to prevent adverse interference with the normal operation or enjoyment of surrounding properties. Direct or sky-reflected glare from floodlights shall not be directed into any other property or street. Except for public street lights and stadium lights, no light, combination of lights, or activity shall cast light onto a residentially zoned property, or any property containing residential uses, exceeding one-half foot-candle.

C.

Glare.

1.

No use shall be operated such that significant, direct glare, incidental to the operation of the use is visible beyond the boundaries of the lot where the use is located.

2.

Windows shall not cause glare that may disrupt adjoining properties, traffic on adjacent streets, etc.

3.

Glare or heat reflected from building materials shall be mitigated so as to not disrupt surrounding properties.
