shielding, color, and height. All lighting must meet ordinance requirements as outlined in Section 4.17.
o For internally illuminated signs, indicate which areas of the sign are opaque and which are illuminated. (Opaque
materials don't allow light to pass through. When lit only from behind, the color of an opaque material cannot be
detected nor can objects be seen through it.
