  • All street lighting shall be in keeping with the semi-rural atmosphere of the city, and shall be in conformance with the applicable regulations of the city.

Streetlights may be allowed upon request of the applicant if determined by the city to be in conformance with its lighting regulations and will not contribute to the light pollution of the city.
