§ 14-81. Purpose.

Latest version.

The purpose of this article is to improve nighttime public safety, utility, and security by restricting the nighttime emission of light rays. New lighting technologies have produced lights that are extremely powerful, and these lights may be improperly installed so that they create problems of excessive glare, light trespass, and higher energy use. Excessive glare can be annoying and may cause safety problems. Light trespass reduces everyone's privacy, may be detrimental to the aesthetic values of the town, and can restrict persons from the peaceful enjoyment of their property. Higher energy use results in increased costs for everyone. This article is intended to reduce the problems caused by excessive lighting, or by improperly designed and installed outdoor lighting.
