brightness in both illumination levels and color rendition.
Incandescent and high-pressure sodium light sources all can
provide adequate illumination with low contrast and brightness
and are permitted light sources.
(6) Unique areas or neighborhoods within the city may have
additional design guidelines for lighting as part of a neighborhood
or area plan. The Community Planning and Environmental
Services Department can provide information regarding
neighborhood or area plans. Natural areas and natural features
shall be protected from light spillage from off -site sources.
(7) Maximum on -site lighting levels shall not exceed ten (10) foot-
candles, except for loading and unloading platforms where the

(8) Light levels measured twenty (20) feet,beyond the property line of
the development site (adjacent to residential uses or public rights -
of -way) shall not exceed one -tenth (0.1) foot-candle as a direct
result of the on -site lighting.
(9) Outdoor display lots for vehicles sales and leasing (as those terms

(1) Procedure. Alternative compliance lighting plans shall be
prepared and submitted in accordance with submittal
requirements for lighting plans as set forth in this Section. The
plan shall clearly identify and discuss the modifications and
alternatives proposed and the ways in which the plan will better
accomplish the purpose of this Section than would a plan which
complies with the standards of this Section.

but no drainage study, is required when there is between 1,000 and 350
square feet of new imperviousness. There are no requirements for less
