URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE PROHIBITING ISSUANCE OF
PERMITS FOR CERTAIN OUTDOOR LIGHTING
The CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby FIND:
WHEREAS, lights mounted on the exterior of buildings can
interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring residential
properties; and
WHEREAS, the Council is considering zoning standards which
would regulate the bulk and mass of residential structures; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that installation of exterior
lights more than nine feet above landings as required by the
Uniform Building Code as amended by the City of Burlingame or
installation of other outside lighting so that light and glare
falls upon neighboring residential properties should be regulated
as part of such bulk and mass standards;
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City to
adopt an urgency interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be
inconsistent with a zoning proposal that is currently being
considered or will be studied within a reasonable time,
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained:
(1) During the pendency of this ordinance the City will not
issue any permits for outdoor lighting on any residential or
commercial structure that is located more than nine feet above an
exit landing or for any other exterior lighting installed so that
the cone of light and/or glare from the light would extend onto
adjacent property;
(2) The Council finds that this ordinance is necessary to
protect the public safety, health and welfare and that the
installation of such exterior lighting prior to adoption of
standards for mass and bulk would create a threat to the public
health, safety and welfare;
(3) This ordinance shall expire forty-five (45) days from
February 19, 1992, its date of adoption, unless extended by Council
prior to that date after notice and hearing, as provided in
Government Code Section 65858(a).
(4) This ordinance shall be published as required by law.
I, JUDITH A. MALFATTI, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame,
