Yes, they do, and here it is: 8-13. On site lighting. (1) All outdoor lighting devices or fixtures shall be shielded in such a manner that light rays emitted by the device or fixture, whether directly from the lamp or indirectly from the fixture, are restricted to regions below an angle 15 degrees beneath the horizontal plane running through the lowest point on the fixture where light is emitted. No significant intensity of light shall be emitted from the fixture horizontally, nor above the horizon, nor above the region defined above. All outdoor lighting shall be downward directed except where specified otherwise in this chapter. Luminaires meeting restricted emission requirements are sometimes described commercially as hooded, shielded, or full cut-off fixtures; however, not all luminaires so designated meet the above angular requirement. (2) On-site lighting shall not penetrate beyond the property line in such a manner as to annoy or interfere with the use of adjacent properties. If a light is determined to be in violation, the owner shall take appropriate corrective action to assure compliance. (3) All outdoor light fixtures maintained on public or private property shall be turned off between 11:00 PM local time and sunrise except when used for: (a) commercial and industrial uses such as sales, assembly and repair areas where business is conducted after 11:00 PM, but only while the business is open to the public; (b) illuminated advertising signs on the premises of a business while it is open to the public; (c) lighting necessary for security purposes or to illuminate walkways or roadways; (d) illuminated billboards; and (e) a recreational use that continues after 11:00 PM, but only for so long as such use continues. The questions I see are: 1. What lights are going to be allowed to remain on after 11:00p.m. for security purposes (certainly not all lights in the strip mall will be needed) 2. Is the developer/owner here in compliance with the light fixtures they have selected to use at the location 3. Has this issue been raised, addresses and resolved with the planning commission or a waiver granted? If so why, if not, it will be good to know what has been done to promote the ordinance with the builder and what the builder/owner has done to ensure the site is in compliance overall.

I thought Tooele County has a Light Pollution Ordinance.
Thanks Jay and Rodger. Since the developer Woodbury Corp.'s closest market
is residents in Stansbury Park - residents who already support wise lighting practices - hopefully the developer and the new CDA will see it in their economic interests to harmonize new development with the existing lighting values of their potential customers. - Clear Skies - Kurt
