§ 13-14(e) — Tower lighting

Sec. 13-14(e). - Tower lighting.

(a) Towers shall not be illuminated through the use of artificial lights such as strobe lights or other lighting devices unless specifically required by the FAA or other state and federal government agencies. Light fixtures may be attached if it is part of the approved design incorporated into the tower structure to be used for the illumination of athletic fields, parking lots, streets or other similar areas. Lighting of the accessory buildings for basic security purposes is permissible but may not result in unnecessary glare on adjacent properties in residentially zoned areas. (b) Should lighting be required by state of federal law, the lighting shall be placed on the tower and designed in such a way as to minimize the glare on adjacent properties. In these instances, dual lighting shall be used. Dual lighting is considered as strobe lighting during the daylight hours and red lighting during night time hours.
