Light Trespass: Brentwood vs Pittsburg

Brentwood's code prohibits outdoor lighting that produces excessive glare or spills onto neighboring properties at levels high enough to disturb use and enjoyment. Typical standards limit residential property-line illuminance to about 0.1 foot-candles and require shielded fixtures for bright sources.

Pittsburg prohibits light spillover and glare onto neighboring properties under Municipal Code Title 18. Outdoor fixtures must be shielded to contain light within the originating property. Measurable light trespass is enforced as a nuisance, with foot-candle limits at property lines typically 0.5 fc or less for residential zones.
