Starting in 2022, the ordinance will affect those living in the desert and mountain region and require property owners to turn off their outside lights at 11 p.m.
The author of the ordinance told the Victorville Daily Press that the new rule will help “preserve the night sky and thereby help preserve the county’s rural quality of life.”
To be compliant, commercial and industrial areas will have till July of 2023 and till January of 2024 for homeowners. The ordinance will not affect residents living in the valley region.
