Submission of plans. <br />(a) All outdoor lighting fixtures shall be installed in conformance with the provisions of <br />this article and those of the electrical code of the County as applicable and subject <br />to the appropriate permit and inspection requirements thereof. The applicant for <br />any permit required by the County for work involving nonexempt outdoor light <br />fixtures shall submit to the building official proof that the proposed work will <br />comply with the article requirements. The submission shall contain, but not be <br />limited to, the following: <br />(1) The location of the site where the outdoor light fixtures will be installed; <br />(2) Plans indicating the type(s) of outdoor light fixtures to be used and their <br />location on the premises; <br />(3) A description of the outdoor light fixtures including, but not limited to, <br />manufacturer's catalog cuts and drawings. <br />(b) The plans and descriptions required by subsection (a) sufficiently complete to <br />enable the building official to readily determine whether compliance with the <br />requirements of this article will be secured. If such plans and descriptions cannot <br />enable this ready determination, by reason of the nature or configuration of the <br />devices or fixtures proposed, the applicant shall be required to submit further proof <br />of compliance. Furthermore, any design, material, or method of installation not <br />specifically forbidden by this article may be used, provided any such alternate has <br />first been approved by the building official. The building official may approve any <br />such proposed alternate provided: <br />(1) It is at least approximately equivalent to the applicable specific requirements <br />of this article; and <br />(2) It is otherwise satisfactory and complies with the intent of this article. <br />(1988, ord 88-122, sec 3.) <br />SUPP.1 (1-2017) 14-24 <br />
