Pembroke Pines addresses light trespass through general nuisance provisions rather than specific light trespass regulations. Outdoor lighting that unreasonably disturbs neighbors may be cited as a nuisance. The Land Development Code contains lighting standards for commercial development. No specific lux or footcandle limits exist for residential light trespass.
Pembroke Pines does not have a specific light trespass ordinance with measurable standards. Light from neighboring properties that unreasonably disturbs the quiet enjoyment of a residence may be addressed through the city's general nuisance provisions and Code Compliance. The Land Development Code Chapter 155 contains lighting design standards for commercial and multi-family development projects that include provisions for minimizing light spillover. For residential disputes, Code Compliance evaluates complaints on a case-by-case basis. Civil remedies may also be available for persistent light trespass issues between neighbors.
Lighting creating a demonstrable nuisance may result in code enforcement action on a case-by-case basis.
