Fulshear's Coordinated Development Ordinance limits light trespass onto adjoining properties through fixture shielding, cutoff requirements, and site-design rules administered by Development Services.
Under Division III-5 of Chapter 28, outdoor lighting on regulated sites in Fulshear must be designed to keep illumination within the project boundary. The ordinance requires fixtures to be shielded or fully cutoff so that direct light does not spill onto neighboring lots or rights-of-way, and it controls fixture height and aim to reduce glare. Lighting plans are submitted with development applications and reviewed by Development Services. Complaints about light spilling from a regulated site can be referred to Code Compliance for investigation against the approved plan and the CDO standards.
Aiming wall packs, parking-lot lights, or sign lighting so they cast direct beams onto an abutting property, or removing required shielding, violates the Fulshear CDO lighting standards.
