  • Every licensee planning to conduct a commercial outdoor activity after dark, or planning to allow persons who attend the public amusement to remain on the premises after dark, shall provide electrical illumination to insure that those areas which are occupied are lighted at all times. The planning director must approve an applicant's lighting plan as a prerequisite to issuance of a license pursuant to this chapter.

    A licensee shall be required to illuminate specific areas on the premises in accordance with the following scale of lighting intensity:

    Open areas reserved for spectators 10-foot candles
    Stage areas 100-foot candles
    Parking and overnight areas 5-foot candles
    Restroom and concession areas 50-foot candles

     

    The lighting plan shall include provision for light standards and electrical switches; and in the event the licensee can not for any reason obtain electricity from a public utility, the lighting plan shall include provision for necessary generators. All lighting and appurtenant lines and equipment shall be so installed as to be completely safe at all times.
