Staff introduces night-sky & string-lighting amendments

Presentation

2:01 → 9:30(7m 29s)

Planning staff presented proposed edits to LDRs addressing exterior lighting and new text for string ("stream") lighting. Staff said night-sky measurements show increased light pollution between 2022 and 2024 and that a letter from Chief Weber supports permitting Town Square lighting until 2 a.m. Staff previewed exemptions, hours and lumen limits and said the changes shift the approach from prohibition to regulation.

Speakers:

A Jackson Planning Commission hearing on proposed LDR text amendments drew a lengthy staff presentation, an applicant presentation from Wyoming Stargazing, extensive public comment on string lighting and dark-sky protections, and a split commission vote on shielding/color language; commissioners continued the separate string-lighting amendment to a date uncertain for more community work.
