As such, the Town requires that certain standards apply to all parking lots, driveways and entrances to such parking lots to provide safe movement for vehicles and pedestrian traffic and avoid common parking lot lighting practices that produce unsightly and dangerous glare, the unnecessary waste of energy resources and the unintended illumination of property adjacent to a parking lot facility. The following standards shall apply to all public and private parking lots within the Town’s corporate limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction:

If the maximum foot candle cannot be maintained in accordance with the Town’s Standard Specifications & Construction Details, shields shall be provided on the fixtures to prevent glare and the maximum foot candle requirement.
(3) Light Fixture Type . All lighting fixtures within a parking lot shall be full cutoff fixtures as defined by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA).
