Huntington has no comprehensive dark-sky ordinance but Town Code Chapter 198 requires exterior lighting to be shielded and directed downward. Commercial parking lot lighting must not spill onto adjacent residential properties.
Site plan review for new commercial and multifamily development requires photometric plan showing foot-candle levels at property lines (typically 0.5 fc max at residential border). Full-cutoff fixtures encouraged. Beach and harbor-adjacent lighting subject to additional review to protect sea turtle nesting and shorebirds under state wildlife guidelines.
