Motion – Councillor L. Johnson (on behalf of Councillor T. Kavanagh) – Nuisance Lighting Impacts
File No. ACS2026-OCC-CCS-0077 – Citywide WHEREAS the City of Ottawa’s By-law Review Work Plan identifies regulatory by-laws for review or development each Term of Council; and WHEREAS municipalities have the authority to regulate nuisances including outdoor illumination and indoor lighting that can be seen outdoors pursuant to Section 129 of the Municipal Act, 2001; and WHEREAS Property Standards By-law 2013-416 and the Permanent Signs on Private Property By-law 2016-326 set out certain regulations with respect to exterior lighting; and WHEREAS residents have indicated concerns with light pollution affecting their use and enjoyment of their properties and homes that are not adequately addressed by the existing regulations; and WHEREAS with the new zoning regulations, which seek to increase urban density, light pollution may become increasingly problematic for both humans and wildlife alike; and WHEREAS establishing clear standards for outdoor lighting will help mitigate these impacts, promote public health and safety, and protect local ecosystems while still allowing for appropriate illumination in urban spaces; and WHEREAS other Ontario municipalities including Mississauga and Richmond Hill have by-laws to regulate light pollution. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff include a light pollution by-law, or amendments to the Property Standards By-law concerning light pollution and nuisance, as an item for consideration as part of the development of next Term of Council’s By-law Review Work Plan to be approved by Council, and that other jurisdictions be considered as models as part of this work.
