Subsection C.2.j for the area of the display only. However, when the
proposed lumens per acre exceed the limits of Subsection C.2.j the
installation shall be designed to achieve no greater than the minimum
illuminance levels for the activity as recommended by the Illuminating
Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). If IESNA has more than
one applicable recommended practice, then the lowest figure shall apply.
Street lighting is exempt from the total lumen count for a given property.
(4) Off-Site Spill: The installation shall limit off-site spill (off the parcel
containing the display lot) to a maximum of 0.5 fc at any location on any
non-residential property, and 0.05 fc at any location on any residential
property, as measurable from any orientation of the measuring device.
(5) Curfew: Outdoor Display Lot lighting exceeding the lumens per acre cap
of Subsection C.2.j shall be turned off at 10:00 p.m. or within thirty (30)
