As an AI language model, I do not have access to the latest regulations related to land development. However, light pollution requirements may vary depending on the region and the type of development project. Generally, guidelines suggest that developers implement measures to reduce outdoor lighting, including installing fixtures that direct light downward, reducing the intensity of lighting, and controlling the timing and duration of outdoor lighting. Cities and local governments may establish regulations to minimize light pollution and preserve the natural environment while providing adequate lighting for safety purposes. Certain certifications, such as the International Dark-Sky Association's (IDA) Dark Sky Places program, offer guidelines for park and community developments that minimize light pollution and encourage responsible outdoor lighting practices. It is recommended that developers consult with experts and local authorities to ensure compliance with the appropriate regulations and standards.
