Rather, the state model ordinance and other local ordinances define illumination as <br /> "visible to an observer on the beach" or use similar language. The proposed ordinance revises the <br /> County's definition of illuminate to be consistent with the state model and with other regional local <br /> jurisdictions. <br /> With respect to interior lighting restrictions, the proposed revisions delete references to (just) windows j <br /> "facing the ocean," and replaces it with "within line-of-sight of an observer on the beach," which <br /> eliminates inconsistencies within the current ordinance and brings the County regulations in line with <br /> state guidelines and with other jurisdictions. <br /> 4 <br /> 226 <br />
