Englewood caps outdoor light pole heights at 18 feet and limits spillover onto adjacent properties to 0.2 footcandle.
Englewood's zoning regulations under Chapter 250 set a maximum outdoor lighting fixture height of 18 feet and limit illumination on adjacent properties to a maximum of 0.2 footcandle, controlling light trespass between parcels. For murals and public art, illumination cannot exceed three footcandles above ambient lighting measured at the nearest residentially zoned property line. Murals or public art in residential zones may not be illuminated between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Residential-district signs are limited to 150 watts of white light.
Installing fixtures taller than 18 feet, allowing spillover above 0.2 footcandle on a neighboring lot, illuminating residential murals overnight, or exceeding 150 watts on a residential sign each violate the zoning lighting standards.
