LDC §14-6-51 (glare performance standard) and §14-7-6 (street lighting) regulate outdoor lighting. Glare from any use is prohibited if it creates a hazard or unreasonable annoyance on neighboring property.
§14-6-51 is the glare performance standard — uses cannot produce glare that interferes with neighboring properties or rights-of-way. §14-7-6 covers street lighting standards for new development. §14-11-11(R) prohibits unshielded illumination on signs that reflects lighting onto public rights-of-way. There is no dedicated dark-sky ordinance in Kissimmee. Specific lighting design standards are tied to development review for commercial projects — full cut-off fixtures preferred but not strictly required for residential applications.
Zoning enforcement under Sec. 1-22(b)(12) — $250. Light-trespass cases typically resolved through code enforcement negotiation rather than fines.
