Commission asks for clearer DarkSky lighting standards in Form-Based Code draft
Summary
During its review, Planner Thom Vetter and commissioners asked the draft to 'Be more specific regarding DarkSky requirements,' requesting measurable or cross-referenced lighting standards for the code.
Commissioners raised concern that the lighting language in the draft Form-Based Code is too general and asked staff to "Be more specific regarding DarkSky requirements." They indicated a preference for measurable standards or a clear reference to an adopted DarkSky specification to reduce ambiguity in enforcement.
The commission did not adopt specific lighting numbers during the meeting; it instead asked staff to return with concrete options or references the commission could consider in a future session.
