Description
The Coastal Commission signed off on the county's coastal lighting rules with a few tweaks, and the board adopted them — warmer bulbs for homes, and rules now covering loading docks, walkways and streets too.
Impact summary
New construction in the coastal zone will need warm, shielded, downward-directed lighting; existing fixtures are generally grandfathered.
