VIII. ENFORCEMENT & PENALTIES - Ordinance Text
Submission of the Lighting Plan should be required as a precondition
to any approvals. The Lighting Plan should include the location and
BUG rating for each luminaire, specify whether compliance is by the
performance or prescriptive method, and a worksheet to show that
the luminaires and their BUG ratings are compliant.
IX. TABLES - Ordinance Text
IX. TABLES - User’s Guide
The tables are to be reviewed periodically by a joint committee of the
IES and IDA, and adjusted as standards and technology permit. If more
research on the impacts of outdoor lighting shows the effects of light
pollution to be a significant concern, then the values in the tables may
be modified. Such changes will have no significant impact to the balance
of the language of the Ordinance or Code.
