Goodyear regulates outdoor lighting through Zoning Ordinance Article 10 (Outdoor Lighting Standards). Light sources for signs must not be visible from streets, sidewalks, or adjacent property. Fixtures must minimize light pollution and glare.
Goodyear Zoning Ordinance Article 10 establishes outdoor lighting standards. Sign illumination must not be visible from any street, sidewalk, or adjacent property. Exterior fixtures must be shielded and directed to minimize light pollution, glare, and trespass. Commercial and multi-family developments have specific lighting requirements. While Goodyear is not a designated dark sky community, the lighting standards promote responsible outdoor illumination. Residential lighting should not create nuisance conditions for neighbors.
Non-compliant lighting may be ordered modified or shielded by code compliance.
