Fulshear's Coordinated Development Ordinance Division III-5 sets outdoor lighting standards for new development, requiring shielded fixtures and limits on glare for non-residential and multifamily sites.
Division III-5 of Chapter 28 (Coordinated Development Ordinance) governs outdoor lighting for properties developed within Fulshear's city limits. The standards address fixture design, mounting heights, shielding, and lamp output for parking areas, building exteriors, and site features. Permitted fixtures must direct light downward and onto the property to limit skyglow and spillover, and site lighting plans are reviewed during development plan submittal. The rules apply primarily to non-residential, mixed-use, and multifamily projects, while certain decorative and security fixtures may be exempt subject to limits.
Installing unshielded floodlights, exceeding allowable mounting heights, or operating site lighting that produces excessive uplight on regulated properties violates the CDO and may trigger code enforcement.
