A lighting plan is required for all non-residential uses in residential family zoning districts, multiple family developments other than duplexes, commercial, industrial, institutional, and public uses including uses developed by other units of local government. At the time any exterior lighting is installed or substantially modified, a lighting plan must be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to determine whether the requirements of this Section have been met. A lighting plan is required for all special uses and planned area developments. Where a lighting plan is required, the plan must include the following:

1. A site plan showing pole locations, building mounted lights, bollard lights with schematic wiring layout and power source connection;

2. Specifications for luminaries and lamp types, poles, wiring, conduit and appurtenant construction including photographs or drawings of proposed luminaries;

3. Pole, luminaries, and foundation details including pole height, height of building mounted lights, mounting height and height of the luminaries;

4. Elevations of the site including buildings, luminaries and other structures sufficient to determine the total cutoff angle of all luminaries and their relationship to abutting parcels;

5. Lamp wattage of all luminaries proposed;

6. Photometric plans that show the foot candle - horizontal measurement internal to the site and at the property lines and the foot candle - vertical measurement at the property lines only. (Foot candle - horizontal measurements is taken along a horizontal plane at a height of three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground. Foot-candle - vertical measurement is taken at a minimum height of three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground but must also be required at any height along a vertical plane at a property boundary pursuant to the direction of the Zoning Administrator.) Photometric plans must be based on a light loss factor of 1.0.
