These include limiting light spillage from parking facilities onto adjacent residential property (Sec. 20- 4.4(E)(3) ) and eliminating any outdoor tennis court lighting in residential ' zoned districts (Sec. 20- 3.6(M)(4). Outdoor lighting in the TODD districts may not impact off -site uses or adjacent streets (Sec.20- 8.15(C). At a recent City Commission meeting a request was made to the Planning Department to consider similar provisions for light spillage which occurs between residential properties. This type of lighting can be a serious annoyance to a neighbor whose property is receiving unwanted lighting from a neighboring property. A review of the Land Development Code (LDC) indicates there are no specific regulations to limit residential light spillage. A number of municipalities do provide Code standards which limit light spillage in residential areas. The measurement used primarily is a one -half foot - candle. A foot - candle is defined as a measure of illumination striking a surface. It is measured by a light meter. In order to respond to this concern a technical amendment must be made to the LDC, as shown on the attached draft ordinance. This amendment "Section 20- 3.6(U) Outdoor Lighting Spillage" will provide a maximum light spillage limit and be measurable by a code enforcement officer. PLANNING BOARD ACTION The Planning Board at its September 15, 2008 meeting conducted a public hearing on the proposed amendment and adopted a motion by a vote of 5 ayes 0 nays recommending approval of the proposed amendment. RECOMMENDATION The Administration is in the process of researching the purchase of an appropriate light meter which would be required by Code Enforcement in order to measure the level of light spillage as set forth in the proposed ordinance. This may take additional time and it would be prudent to delay the effectiveness date of the ordinance. It is recommended that the proposed amendment as shown in attached ordinance be approved on second reading with the following amendment to Section 4: "Section 4 This ordinance shall be effective 30 days afters adoption hereof."

Planning Board Applications/Public Hearing Mrs. Chael read the item into the record. Action: Mr. Youkilis advised that the Land Development Code currently has several provisions to regulate spillage of lighting from one property onto another property. These include limiting light spillage from parking facilities onto adjacent residential property and eliminating any outdoor tennis court lighting in residential zoned districts. At a recent City Commission meeting a request was made to the Planning Department to consider similar provisions for light spillage which occurs between residential properties. A review of the LDC indicates there are no specific regulations to limit residential light spillage. A number of municipalities do provide Code standards which limit light spillage in .residential areas. The measurement used primarily is a one -half foot - candle. A foot - candle is defined as a measure of illumination striking a surface. It is measured by a light meter. In order to respond to this concern a minor technical amendment to the LDC, will provide a maximum. limit and be Planning Board Meeting September 15, 2008 Page 2 of 2 measurable by a .code enforcement officer. It was recommended by staff that the proposed amendment Section 20- 3.6(U) as shown in the staff report be approved. Ms. Yates questioned if there was a measurement in specific numbers allowing a certain amount of light spillage for a commercial property as well as for a residential property. Mr. Youkilis replied in the affirmative. Mr. Morton questioned if there was a Miami -Dade County ordinance which would override the City's proposed text amendment. He advised that although the proposed ordinance establishes criteria it does not account for any control and therefore may create enforcement problems. Mr. Youkilis replied that the City's proposed text amendment will be equivalent to Miami -Dade County and would be enforced by code enforcement .Mr. Youkilis replied that the City will have to purchase equipment in order to provide enforcement. Motion: Ms. Cruz moved to approve the proposed text amendment as recommended by staff. Ms. Yates seconded.
