§ 8109-4.7. Dark Sky overlay zone (DKS).

The abbreviated reference for the Dark Sky overlay zone when applied to a base zone shall be "DKS". This overlay zone applies to areas found by the County to have a unique character which warrant special requirements and standards necessary to prevent light pollution and preserve the natural darkness of the night sky, reduce sky glow , have improved star viewing, and have decreased energy consumption.

The suffix DKS shall be added to the base zone covering land so identified (e.g., RA-20 ac/DKS). The standards and procedures in this Section 8109-4.7 shall apply to all property in the Dark Sky overlay zone in addition to those of the base zone. Where a property is subject to the standards of more than one (1) overlay zone, the more restrictive standards shall apply.
