Yuma's outdoor lighting regulations (Article 18 of the zoning code) address light trespass and glare. Lighting must be designed to minimize spillover onto neighboring properties.
Yuma City Code Article 18 (Outdoor Lighting Regulations) establishes requirements for exterior lighting to minimize light trespass and glare. Full cutoff fixtures directed downward are recommended for most applications. Light trespass onto neighboring properties is a code enforcement issue. Security lighting must be properly aimed. The city's code compliance division responds to light trespass complaints.
Non-compliant lighting creating trespass or glare may result in code enforcement action.
