Define excessive lighting as a public nuisance violation
In Plain English
The city currently has no specific rules about bright lights that disturb neighbors. This law creates standards for what counts as excessive lighting and gives the city authority to enforce violations. If approved, property owners could face penalties for lights that shine too brightly onto neighboring properties.
