[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Long
Branch 7-26-2023 by Ord. No. 20-23. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose and intent of this chapter is to preserve and protect
against light pollution and unnecessary sky glow while promoting sound
and responsible use of resources, discourage the waste of electricity
and improve or maintain nighttime safety, utility and security throughout
the residential communities within the City of Long Branch.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Includes all residential zones and development, any mixture
of residential and commercial establishments, characterized by a few
pedestrians at night. This definition includes areas with single-family
houses, townhouses and/or small apartment buildings.
All outdoor lighting used for security purposes located in residential
areas herein defined shall be activated by motion-sensor devices.
A.
All lighting shall be designed and installed in a manner that will
result in the direct or diffused illumination source not being visible
at any point on the property boundary at a height of three feet or
anything greater. This can be accomplished by shielding, placement
type and style of fixtures and other means which are technically feasible.
B.
Lighting shall not project off the property. At the property line,
illumination from light fixtures shall not exceed 0.5 footcandle in
a vertical plane.
C.
All outdoor light fixtures shall be designed, installed and maintained
so that there will not be objectionable direct light emissions.
Exterior light gloves, unshielded sources, upward pointed light
sources, mercury vapor lights, off-site lighting, laser source lights,
searchlights, are lights, and pulsed or flashing lights shall be prohibited.
