were 4 readings taken; all readings were above the roof line of the building utilizing a bucket truck, on
the north side of the property. The Building Official took readings facing directly south, south east and
east. Based on those readings, it has been determined that there are violations at the following locations
and readings:
- South facing with readings of 1.8 Foot-candle (fc) and 1.9fc
- South East facing with readings of 3.0fc and 3.1fc
- East facing with readings of 3.8fc and 3.0fc
A measurement was also taken facing directly down the property line with readings of 2.8fc and 2.9fc.
In accordance with the following City Ordinances:
Section 34-206. Definitions; Spillover lighting means spillover lighting in excess of 0.2 foot-candles
greater than the existing light (i.e., moonlight) that transmits beyond the property boundary line. Section
34-207. Policy established; It is declared to be the policy of the city to prohibit unnecessary, excessive
and offensive spill-over lighting from all sources subject to its police powers. The need for spill-over
lighting regulation is a matter of legislative determination and public policy and this article is adopted
in pursuance of and for the purpose of securing and promoting the public health, comfort, convenience,
safety and welfare of the city and the people residing therein.
The property located at 8801 Astronaut Blvd. is currently in violation of spillover lighting.
