   Turn Off the Lights: Requesting a Review of the Nuisance Lighting By-law

   The City of Toronto has existing bylaws intended to govern excessive exterior lighting that can cause a nuisance to neighbours. Under the existing Property Standards by-law, however, Municipal Licensing and Standards is only able to enforce these standards where the light is directly shining into a dwelling unit. Recently, residents in both of our wards have raised concerns about the challenges presented by extremely bright lights from neighbouring properties that, after Municipal Licensing and Standards investigation, did not meet the criteria of the current by-law. Therefore, this motion requests that staff examine these provisions as part of their planned review of the Property Standards by-law to determine how to better address issues raised by disruptive ambient, indirect light sources.
