The purpose and intent of this article is to ensure that exterior (outdoor) lighting
positively enhances the visual impact of a building or project on surrounding properties
and uses. To that end, exterior lighting at a building or project shall be designed
and installed in a consistent and coordinated fashion to provide safe, convenient
and efficient lighting for customers, pedestrians and vehicles, and to avoid the creation
of hot spots, glare, obtrusive light, light pollution, light trespass, and visual
nuisance. Also, exterior lighting should accentuate key architectural elements of
the building or project, and highlight or otherwise emphasize landscape features.
The provisions of this article shall be administered by the planning division.
