City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #193364

Nuisance Lights:

Other: The "Grab and Go" store has a couple very bright lights on the west side of the building that shine on other buildings and that make it difficult to see when walking east in that general area at night Can the store be asked to redirect and/or shade at least the brighter of the two so that light is cast only on their property and not the houses nearby? It seems like a form of trespass.

Planning staff investigated the site and found that some of the lighting was previously existing in the parking lot, but some lighting attached to the building has changed and would need to be adjusted to meet lighting standards. Staff will issue a NOV Warning to the property to work to resolve this problem as soon as possible.

Compliance staff will investigate the reported site and see if any lighting is out of compliance. Please keep in mind that with our limited window currently (i.e. 8-5pm hours), we will likely not be able to see the intensity of the light. If newly installed or changed lighting does not meet our lighting standards, we will follow up with the property.
