4.C-4d: During design of any building greater than 100 feet tall, the applicant and architect shall consult with a qualified biologist experienced building/lighting design issues (as approved by the City of Brisbane Planning Department) to identify lighting related measures to minimize the effects of the building’s lighting on birds. Such measures, which may include the following and/or other measures, shall be incorporated into the building’s design and operation.

  • Use strobe or flashing lights in place of continuously burning lights for obstruction lighting. Use flashing white lights rather than continuous light, red light, or rotating beams.
  • Install shields onto light sources not necessary for air traffic to direct light towards the ground.
  • Extinguish all exterior lighting (i.e., rooftop floods, perimeter spots) not required for public safety.
  • When interior or exterior lights must be left on at night, the operator of the buildings shall examine and adopt alternatives to bright, all-night, floor-wide lighting, which may include:
    • Installing motion-sensitive lighting.
    • Using desk lamps and task lighting.
    • Reprogramming timers.
    • Use of lower-intensity lighting.
  • Windows or window treatments that reduce transmission of light out of the building will be implemented to the extent feasible.
  • Educational materials will be provided to building occupants encouraging them to minimize light transmission from windows, especially during peak spring and fall migratory periods, by turning off unnecessary lighting and/or closing drapes and blinds at night.
  • A report of the lighting alternatives considered and adopted shall be provided to the City of Brisbane
