Veneta updates outdoor lighting rules to require LED streetlights and measure in lumens
Summary
Ordinance No. 599 updates Veneta Municipal Code Chapter 15.15 to reflect LED technology and lumen‑based measurement for fixtures; council adopted the ordinance unanimously.
The council adopted Ordinance No. 599 to revise outdoor lighting standards, including a requirement that public streetlights use LED lamps and that fixtures be regulated by lumen output rather than wattage.
