Planning Commission approves parking-lot lighting code amendment
Summary
The Branson Planning Commission approved a change to off-street parking lighting language to reduce spillover illumination and glare, adopting clarified wording for Section 94‑88(c) by a 9-0 vote.
The Branson Planning Commission on Feb. 4, 2025, voted unanimously to approve a code amendment revising off-street parking lighting standards to reduce illumination onto adjoining property and prevent glare, 9-0.
The amendment, housed in Section 94‑88(c) (off‑street parking standards), replaces several passages of existing text with a shorter standard intended to broaden the protection against spillover light beyond residential property and to remove unclear references to landscaping and vegetation.
Staff presented the amendment and told commissioners the proposed language reads: "Lighting provided for off street parking spaces shall be arranged to minimize illumination onto adjoining property and to prevent glare directed at vehicles on streets and alleys." Staff recommended approval.
Commissioners did not take public comment on the item. After a motion and second (mover and seconder not specified in the public record), the commission conducted a roll-call vote. The measure passed by a unanimous recorded vote of 9 in favor, 0 opposed.
The commission closed the public hearing on the parking-lot lighting amendment before moving to the next agenda item.
