West Jordan requires exterior lighting to be fully shielded and directed downward in commercial and multifamily zones, with lumen caps on pole-mounted fixtures.
The West Jordan outdoor lighting ordinance under Title 13 requires full-cutoff, shielded fixtures for new commercial, industrial, and multifamily parking lot lighting. Pole heights are generally limited to 25 feet, with reduced heights near residential boundaries. Residential single-family homes are exempt from the shielding requirement but are subject to nuisance provisions if lighting causes glare onto adjacent properties. Light trespass onto adjacent residential lots may not exceed 0.1 footcandle at the property line.
