_________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for June 4, 2014 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-019 - Zoning Code Amendment - Lighting Regulations\Memos_14-019 <br /> <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />within a certain number of feet of a property line to help reduce light trespass. Currently, Arden <br />Hills only has an established height limit for lighting in the Neighborhood Business District. <br />Common types of lights that are prohibited by other cities include lights that blink, flicker, flash, <br />and change in intensity or color. There are no specific limits on the types of lights allowed in the <br />Zoning Code. <br /> <br />In order to get a better sense on how the Planning Commission would like to proceed in the <br />review and revision of the City’s lighting regulations, staff is requesting feedback on the <br />following questions: <br /> <br />1. Of the four different approaches used by other cities to regulate the impact of exterior <br />lights on adjoining properties, which approaches would best address the City’s concerns <br />about LED lights? <br />2. How should the City balance the need to create stricter lighting regulations with the need <br />to ensure that property owners can easily interpret and implement these requirements? <br />3. Should the City consider setting a height limit for exterior lights? <br />4. Should the City consider establishing a list of prohibited types of exterior lighting? <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Provide further direction on how the Zoning Code could be updated to improve the City’s <br />regulations regarding exterior lighting. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A. Excerpts from Sections 1320 and 1325 of the Zoning Code <br />B. City Council Work Session, March 17, 2014 <br /> <br />
