The focus of this comment is Goal cc-2:b Night Sky as per the public draft document being discussed tonight.bb
1. Please refer to Truckee Municipal Code--Title 18, Development Codeb section 18.30.060--Exterior Lighting and Night Sky.
2. The Town code enforcement department states to me that the Code as written only addresses single bulb lights and does not include features such as
"Festoon" lighting ; also described as cafe lighting or party lighting or big bulb garland lights. And, therefore they cannot enforce.
3. Case in point:b Lighting at Chinese Herb Shop complex.b Entire complex perimeter eves strung with festoon lighting amounting to perhaps in the
neighborhood of 200 individual bulbs.b These strings of lights are on from dusk to dawn 365 days a year sand, in my opinion, violate several specifically
stated elements of the Code.
4. Proposed language regarding CC-2.2--Exterior lighting:b bFestoon lighting (holiday lighting) is allowed only during specified holidays, the dates of use
before and after any specific holiday to be specified.b Lighting to be turned off after 10:00pm.b Lighting must be LED or a comparableb energy saving type.bb
