1. Confine ground and building lighting to the property and without causing direct light to protrude

City Commission Meetings · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed regulations for ground and building lighting within the City of Panama City. The proposal aims to ensure that lighting stays within property lines and does not shine directly onto neighboring properties. A key detail is the proposed maximum height for light poles, set at 35 feet. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the new regulations would impact future construction and renovation projects requiring new lighting installations. This could involve site preparation for new lighting, electrical work for installation, and potentially landscaping to integrate lighting features. Local contractors, electricians, landscapers, and suppliers of lighting fixtures and materials may find opportunities as these regulations are considered and potentially adopted.
