Title

Presentation on dark sky lighting in unincorporated Lake County.

 

Staff Summary

                     Staff will present this topic to the Planning, Building, Zoning and Environment Committee in a two-part series of discussions, ultimately leading to development of a dark sky ordinance draft for future Board action.

                     First, at the Committee’s August 30 meeting, staff will introduce research summarizing the benefits of dark sky, along with examples of dark sky best practices.

                     Following the August 30 informational presentation, a second Committee presentation and discussion will be scheduled for a later date to discuss specific policy options and obtain direction to draft corresponding regulations for the Committee’s subsequent review and action.
