Chino Hills, CA Outdoor Lighting: Light Trespass & Shielding (2026)

040, Lights, is one line long but it is a mandatory performance standard, not a design suggestion: all lights and glare associated with operations and illuminated signs shall be shielded or directed so as to not illuminate adjacent properties or cause glare to motorists. 010, states the standards are designed to minimize and mitigate the environmental impacts of existing and proposed land uses, including glare, and that the chapter applies to all land uses, including permanent and temporary uses, citywide, not just commercial districts. 040 covers any operation's lighting and any illuminated sign, including on a residential lot, whenever its glare crosses onto a neighbor's property or into the path of a driver. 100. 040 regulates the effect, illumination of adjacent property or glare to motorists, not just the fixture type.
