It is the policy of the city that any activity shall not produce light or glare so as to create a nuisance beyond the parcel within which the use is located. In particular:

A. Building materials with high light reflective qualities should not be used in construction of buildings where reflected sunlight or artificial light would throw intense glare on adjacent areas or streets.

B. Sources of artificial illumination, including signs, shall be hooded or shaded in those instances where direct light from high-intensity lamps would result in glare upon surrounding areas or cast excessive light upon any residential use or street. Where necessary, the height or location of light sources shall be modified in order to reduce the impact of light or glare, or to enhance the capability of shielding or screening light sources, and the intensity and/or orientation of light sources shall be modified where necessary to reduce light and glare to tolerable levels.

C. Landscaping shall be the preferred means of screening emission of light and glare to nearby properties, but should be supplemented where necessary by solid or other sight and glare barriers.

D. All new or modified outdoor lighting shall conform to Chapter 21.17 LMC, Outdoor Lighting Standards. (Ord. 3178 § 3, 2016; Ord. 1416 § 2, 1984)
