SECTION 6-407.1 COMMERCIAL LIGHTING
A. Exterior/Outdoor Lighting
1. Purpose
Exterior lighting is used to illuminate residential, commercial, industrial and public uses; parking lots, sidewalks, signs, and other elements within the Village. When well designed and properly installed, exterior lighting is very useful in improving visibility and safety, providing a sense of security, and complementing the character of the Village. If exterior lighting is not well designed and properly installed it can be inefficient, cause glare, and create light trespass and sky glow. Light trespass falling over property lines can illuminate adjacent grounds or buildings in an objectionable manner.
In order to insure that exterior lighting is well designed with limited impacts on adjacent properties, the following requirements are set forth controlling exterior lighting in both residential and non-residential zoning districts.
2. Definitions
a. Canopy: Any overhanging shelter or shade or other protective structure constructed in such a manner as to allow pedestrians or vehicles to pass underneath.
b. Cutoff: The point at which all light rays emitted by a lamp, light source or luminaire are completely eliminated (cutoff) at a specific angle above the ground.
c. Cutoff Angle: The angle formed by a line drawn from the direction of light rays at the light source and a line perpendicular to the ground from the light source, above which no light is emitted.
d. Entrance Drive Lighting: Lighting produced solely for illumination of a drive entering into an establishment.
e. Exterior Lighting: The illumination of an outside area or object by any man-made device that produces light by any means.
f. Fixture: The assembly that houses the lamp or lamps and can include all or some of the following parts: a housing, a mounting bracket or pole socket, a lamp holder, a ballast, a reflector or mirror, and/or a refractor or lens.
g. Flood or Spot Light: Any light fixture or lamp that incorporates a reflector or a refractor to concentrate the light output into a directed beam in a particular direction.
h. Footcandle (FC): A unit of illumination produced on a surface, all points of which are one (1) foot from a uniform point source of one (1) standard candle.
i. Footcandle - Horizontal Measurement (HFC): The measurement of footcandles utilizing a direct reading, portable light meter mounted in the horizontal position.
j. Footcandle - Vertical Measurement (VFC): The measurement of footcandles utilizing a direct reading, portable light meter mounted in the vertical position.
k. Glare: Light emitting from a luminaire with an intensity great enough to reduce a viewers' ability to see, cause discomfort and, in extreme cases, cause momentary blindness.
l. Height of Luminaire Including Total Height: The height of a luminaire shall be the vertical distance from the ground directly below the centerline of the luminaire to the lowest direct-light-emitting part of the luminaire. The total height shall be the height of the pole, including the base and any mounting arms or other attachments to which the luminaire is attached, as measured from the ground directly below the highest part of the pole or any of its attachments, to the top of the pole or luminaire, whichever the case may be. (See Figure B on page VI-407.1-11)
m. Illumination System: The totality of the equipment installed to provide exterior lighting on a developed property. The illumination system shall include all building, canopy, pole and ground mounted luminaires including all wiring, circuitry, and other devices installed to create exterior lighting.
n. Lamp: The component of a luminaire that produces the actual light.
o. Lamp wattage: The amount of power of a lamp expressed in watts.
p. Light, Direct: Light emitted directly from the lamp, off a reflector or reflector diffuser, or through the refractor or diffuser lens of a luminaire.
q. Light, Indirect: Direct light that has been reflected or has scattered off of other surfaces.
r. Light Loss Factor: A factor applied to lamps, which estimates the lumen output of a lamp sometime after installation. (For example, a lamp with an initial lumen rating of 10,000, which has a light loss factor of 0.7, is estimated to put out 7,000 lumens. A lamp with an initial lumen rating of 10,000, which has a light loss factor of 1.0, is estimated to put out 10,000 lumens.)
s. Light Trespass: The shining of light produced by a luminaire beyond the boundaries of the property on which it is located.
t. Lumen: A unit of luminous flux. One footcandle is one lumen per square foot. For the purpose of this Section, the lumen value shall be the initial lumen output rating of a lamp.
u. Luminaire: A complete lighting unit consisting of a light source and all necessary mechanical, electrical, and decorative parts. (See Figure A on page VI-407.1-10 for examples of luminaires with and without cutoffs.)
v. Luminaire, Cutoff Type: A luminaire containing elements such as shields, reflectors, or refractor panels that direct and cutoff a direct view of the light source at a cutoff angle.
w. Operating Hours: The period of time from one hour prior to opening to one hour after closing of a non-residential establishment.
x. Security Hours: The period of time from one hour after closing to one hour prior to opening of a non-residential establishment.
y. Temporary Exterior Lighting: The specific illumination of an outside area or object by any man-made device that produces light by any means, consistent with the requirement for Temporary Uses in Subsection 6.
z. Wall or Building Mounted Fixture: A fixture attached to an exterior wall, roof, or other exterior surface of a building. No wall mounted fixture shall be allowed to produce light trespass and shall be included in the calculation on photometric plans.
3. Regulations
All public and private exterior lighting installed in the Village of Orland Park shall be in conformance with the requirements established by this Section.
4. Procedure
a. Lighting Plan Required. A lighting plan is required for all non-residential uses in or adjacent to residential zoning districts, multiple family developments other than duplexes, commercial/retail, industrial, institutional, and public uses including uses developed by other units of local government.
At the time any exterior lighting is installed or substantially modified, a lighting plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Department in order to determine whether the requirements of this Section have been met. A lighting plan shall be required for all special uses, planned unit developments, and requests for variations from the standards imposed in this Section.
Where a lighting plan is required, said plan shall include the following:
1. A site plan showing pole locations, building mounted lights (e.g. wall-packs), bollard lights with schematic wiring layout and power source connection;
2. Specifications for luminaires and lamp types, poles, wiring, conduit and appurtenant construction including photographs or drawings of proposed luminaires. Manufacturer catalog sheets shall be provided in order to demonstrate specific style/type and dimensions of equipment;
3. Site-specific pole, luminaire, and foundation details including pole height, height of building mounted lights, mounting height and height of the luminaire;
4. Overall site plan inclusive of a fifty-foot perimeter which shall include buildings, luminaires and other structures sufficient to determine the total cutoff angle of all luminaires and their relationship to abutting parcels;
5. Lamp wattage(s) of all luminaires proposed;
6. Photometric plans that shows the footcandle - horizontal measurement internal to the site and at the property lines and the footcandle - vertical measurement at the property lines only. (Footcandle - horizontal measurements shall be taken along a horizontal plane at a height of three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground. Footcandle - vertical measurement shall be taken at a minimum height of three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground but shall also be required at any height along a vertical plane at a property boundary pursuant to the direction of the Village Engineer. Photometric plans shall be based on a light loss factor of 1.0.
7. Other information and data reasonably necessary to evaluate the required lighting plan pursuant to the request of the Village Engineer.
5. Measuring Light Levels
a. Metering Equipment. Light levels of both direct and indirect light shall be measured in footcandles with a direct reading, portable light meter. Readings shall be taken only after the cell has been exposed long enough to provide a constant reading.
b. Method of Measurement. Footcandle - horizontal measurements shall be taken along a horizontal plane at a height of three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground. Footcandle - vertical measurement shall be taken at a minimum height of three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground but may also be required at any height along a vertical plane at a property boundary pursuant to the direction of the Village Engineer. If lighting metering levels are inconclusive on conformance to the above methods, the measurement will be taken by focusing the metering equipment directly at the light source.
6. Standards and Requirements
a. Tables 1 (see page VI-407.1-15) and 2 (see page VI-407.1-16)
The standards and requirements set forth in Tables 1 (see page VI-407.1-15) and 2 (see page VI-407.1-16) shall regulate and govern the use of, design of, construction or modification of any lighting system for the purpose of illuminating exterior areas including, but not limited to, signs, parking areas, buildings, landscaping, porches, and driveways.
Table 1 (see page VI-407.1-15) sets forth whether the proposed wattage of a luminaire is permitted or a variance is required. In residential zoning districts, whether a specified wattage is permitted or not permitted is based on the width of the street right-of-way abutting the proposed luminaire(s). In non-residential zoning districts, the permitted wattage of proposed exterior lighting is based on whether the lighting is internal or external on the parcel. If external (abutting a residential zoning district or street right-of-way), the setback of the proposed lighting from the property line/street right-of-way is more restrictive, as is the allowable wattage.
Uses permitted by right may be approved by the Director of Development Services pending a review of the documents submitted which meet the requirements of this Section. Plans which require a special use permit or a variation shall follow the public hearing process outlined in Section 5-101 and reviewed by the Plan Commission, Committee, and approved by the Board of Trustees.
Table 2 (see page VI-407.1-16) sets forth the standards for maximum allowable footcandles to be measured both at a property line and internal to a non-residential property. These standards consider the nature of the land uses, the nature of the abutting land uses, and whether for a non-residential use the time period is during hours of operation or security hours. Maximum allowable footcandles are set for lighting internal to the property in question.
b. Total Height and Height of Luminaire (See definition in Part 2 of this Section for Height of Luminaire, Including Total Height on page VI-407.1-2 and Figure B on page VI-407.1-11)
The difference between total height and the height of the luminaire shall not exceed 4 feet.
c. Standards for Luminaire With Cutoffs (See Definition on page VI-407.1-3 and Figure C on page VI-407.1-12) and sample Village Center District decorative lighting standard Figure E on page VI-407.1-14
1. Cutoff Angle. To be considered a cutoff luminaire, the cutoff angle shall be 75 Degrees or less.
2. Height. The maximum height of a cutoff luminaire, either freestanding or attached to a building or other structure, is twenty-five (25) feet. A luminaire greater than twenty-five (25) feet shall require variation approval.
3. Control of Glare. A cutoff luminaire shall be designed to completely shield the light source from an observer three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground at any point along an abutting property line.
d. Standards for Luminaire With No Cutoffs (See Definitions and Figure D on page VI-407.1-13)
1. Cutoff Angle. A luminaire shall be considered to have no cutoff if it is unshielded or has a cutoff angle greater than 75 degrees.
2. Height. The maximum permitted height of a luminaire with no cutoff or with a cutoff greater than 75 degrees, which provides illumination along a property line, shall be less than the value 3 feet + (D/3), where D is the distance in feet to the nearest property line but in no case shall exceed 16 feet. The formula used herein for determining height of the luminaire does not preclude any luminaire or lighting system from meeting the footcandle performance standards set forth in Table 2 (see page VI-407.1-15 16).
3. Control of Glare. Any luminaire designed with no cutoff, or a cutoff angle greater than 75 degrees shall contain a lamp wattage no more than 100 watts or rated for more than 10,000 lumens, whichever is less. The standards for maximum footcandles internal and at the property line, set forth in Table 2 (see page VI-407.1-16), are still applicable. For the footcandles - vertical measurement, the measurements shall be taken not less than three and one-half (3.5) feet above the ground line in a vertical position and vertical readings at heights greater than three and one-half (3.5) feet may be required pursuant to the direction of the Village Engineer. The standards for vertical footcandles, set forth in Table 2 (see page VI-407.1-16) are applicable along the entire vertical plane along a property line.
e. Standards for Luminaires Under a Canopy (for non-residential uses)
Luminaires mounted to the underside of a canopy, which provide overhead illumination, shall be recessed such that no part of the luminaire or the lamp shall extend below the exterior edge of the canopy.
7. Exceptions
a Public Roadway Lighting. Luminaires used for public roadway illumination by a public transportation agency are exempt from the requirements of this Section but may be subject to the regulations of Federal, State or County agencies, or by other intergovernmental agreements.
b. Entrance Drive Lighting. Luminaires used for the sole purpose of illuminating an access drive and other similar uses may be determined by the Director of Development Services to be exempted from certain illumination and other standards of the requirements of this Section.
c. Emergency Lighting. All temporary emergency lighting needed by the Police or Fire Departments or other emergency services, as well as all vehicular luminaires, shall be exempt from the requirements of this Section.
d. Recreational Facilities. Because of their unique requirements for nighttime visibility and their limited hours of operation, outdoor recreational facilities (public or private) such as, but not limited to, football fields, soccer fields, baseball fields, softball fields, tennis courts, golf driving ranges, auditorium areas and other similar uses as may be determined by the Director of Development Services are exempted from certain illumination and other standards as follows:
1. The uses set forth herein are specifically exempted from the maximum footcandle requirements - internal to the site as outlined and established in Table 2 (see page VI-407. 1-16). These uses are required to submit a lighting plan and shall be processed as special uses under the applicable procedures. These uses shall seek to meet the requirements for maximum footcandles at the property line or apply for variations if they are unable to meet those requirements.
2. The uses set forth herein shall be exempt from the height requirements as set forth in this Section. The Plan Commission and Village Board shall review the proposed pole heights during the special use permit review process.
e. Temporary Uses. Non-residential temporary uses shall install temporary lighting using these standards as guides and obtain an electrical permit subject to Section 6-304.B of these regulations.
8. Prohibited Lights
a. Flickering or Flashing Lights. The Village Board of Trustees shall permit no flickering or flashing lights unless authorized in a lighting plan approved as a special use or planned unit development.
b. Searchlight and Laser Source Lights. No searchlights, laser source lights, or any similar high intensity light shall be permitted.
c. Mercury Vapor Lamps. No lamps utilizing mercury vapor shall be permitted.
d. High Intensity Discharge Lamps. No lamps that are classified as high intensity discharge are permitted, other than Metal Halide Lamps which shall be permitted.
9. Non-Conforming Uses
