Ewa Gentry's commercial and recreational lighting must use full cut-off shielded fixtures to protect residential neighborhoods and the Ewa Plain's darker skies.
LUO Sec. 21-4.100 governs outdoor lighting for Ewa Gentry and applies to Laulani Village, Ka Makana Ali'i nearby, neighborhood retail centers, and outdoor recreational facilities. Full cut-off shielded fixtures are required for commercial, industrial, and outdoor-recreational development so direct illumination cannot spill onto adjacent country, residential, apartment, apartment mixed-use, or resort districts. Non-enclosed rooftop gathering spaces must be shielded so illumination does not extend beyond the rooftop. The county standard complements Hawaii's night sky protection strategy under HRS 201-8.5.
