Port Hueneme prohibits outdoor lighting that unreasonably intrudes onto neighboring properties. Lights must be shielded to prevent direct illumination across property lines. Compact lot sizes make light trespass a common concern.
PHMC nuisance and zoning provisions address light trespass. Outdoor lights must be positioned and shielded so that direct illumination does not fall on neighboring properties. Port Hueneme's compact residential lots mean even moderate lighting can impact neighbors. Security lights with motion sensors should be aimed to activate only for the owner's property. Floodlights and high-intensity lighting facing neighboring windows or outdoor living areas create actionable nuisance conditions. Code Compliance handles light trespass complaints.
Light trespass complaints result in Code Compliance investigation. Property owners may be required to shield, redirect, or remove offending light fixtures. Persistent nuisance lighting may result in citations.
