Requested Action        (Identify appropriate Action or Motion)

Staff has prepared an ordinance amending Chapter 5 of the City Code entitled “Animals and Fowl” to provide for protection for marine turtles.  Specifically, this proposed text change would clarify the definitions regarding the City Engineer’s determination of the area that is regarded as beach. 

 

Description of Action

The proposed text change would also create a new section 5-1.8 entitled “Lighting Requirements for Marine Turtle Protection”, the purpose of which is to reduce light impacts on the nesting and hatching of sea turtles.  Lighting for parking facilities are required to be designed to reflect light away from any contiguous residentially zoned property and no lighting would be allowed that would directly illuminate the beach from sunset to sunup during the sea turtle nesting period from March 1 through October 31 of each year.  City property would not be exempt from this requirement.
