Euclid has no formal dark-sky ordinance. General nuisance provisions address egregious light pollution. Zoning code addresses lighting for commercial parking lots.
Commercial and multi-family parking lot lighting must be shielded and directed downward per Euclid zoning standards to minimize spillover. No residential dark-sky requirements. Lake Erie waterfront lighting should avoid disorienting migratory birds (Ohio is on Lake Erie flyway) but is not specifically regulated locally.
