Verified from official government sources
Unincorporated Yuba County has an outdoor lighting standard, Development Code 11.19.060, that requires full-cutoff shielding. All lighting fixtures must be shielded against obtrusive glare and meet the IESNA 'Cut Off' or 'Full Cut Off' criteria. Drop-down lenses, mercury-vapor lamps, searchlights, and flashing or moving lights are prohibited. It is not a formal IDA dark-sky ordinance but mandates shielded fixtures.
Unincorporated Yuba County limits light spillover under Development Code 11.19.060 and 11.26.070. No light may cast more than one foot-candle onto a public street (measured at the street centerline) or more than 0.5 (one-half) foot-candle onto a residentially zoned property or any property containing residential uses. Fixtures must be shielded so light is directed downward, away from neighbors.
