(a) Generally. Except as provided in subsection (b), outdoor light fixtures in nonresidential zoning districts shall be located at least 25 feet from the boundary of any residential district.
(b) Exceptions. The Office of Planning and Zoning may approve a lesser setback than is required by subsection (a) upon the filing of an application that describes the type, location, lumen rating, and height of an outdoor lighting fixture and the reasons why a lesser setback should be allowed. Potential reasons for a lesser setback may include the following:
(1) fixtures will not be visible at any point along the boundaries of the lot on which they are located due to the location of buildings or walls, topography, or similar visual barriers;
(2) lighting will have minimal offsite impact due to the distance of the fixtures from roads and neighboring properties;
(3) fixtures will incorporate additional shielding or other features to prevent offsite impact; or
(4) lighting plans demonstrate other factors that will prevent glare and light spillover.
