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

City Commission Meetings · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed regulations for ground and building lighting within the City of Panama City. The regulations would require lighting to be confined to the property where it is located and not shine directly onto adjacent properties. A maximum height of 35 feet for light poles is also proposed. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the project would involve the installation of new lighting systems or the modification of existing ones to meet the new standards. This could include electrical work, lighting fixture installation, and potentially site work for pole foundations. Local contractors, electricians, lighting suppliers, and landscape services could find opportunities by engaging with the city or property owners early in the process, before final plans and permits are issued.
