Site Lighting. The intent of this provision is to encourage the use of lighting as an integral design component to enhance buildings, landscaping, or other site features; increase night sky visibility and to reduce the general illumination of the sky; reduce horizontal light glare and vertical light trespass from a development onto adjacent parcels and natural features; use lighting in conjunction with other security methods to increase site safety. 1. Site lighting levels. All publicly accessible areas shall be lighted with average minimum and maximum levels as follows: a. Minimum(for low or non-pedestrian and vehicular traffic areas) of 0.5 foot candles; b. Moderate (for moderate or high volume pedestrian areas) of 1-2 foot candles; and c. Maximum (for high volume pedestrian areas and building entries) of 4 foot candles. 2. Lighting shall be provided at consistent levels, with gradual transitions between maximum and minimum levels of lighting and between lit areas and unlit areas. Highly contrasting pools of light and dark areas shall be avoided. 3. Parking area lighting fixtures shall be full cut-off(0% candlepower at 90° horizontal and 10%maximum candlepower at 80° from vertical), dark sky rated, and mounted no more than 30 feet above the ground, with lower fixtures preferable so as to maintain a human scale. 4. All fixtures over 15 feet in height shall be fitted with a full cut-off luminaire. 47
