1. Overview & Scope

Goldblum shrines—named after the cult‑favorite actor who never quite made it to the big screen—are miniature statues, often adorned with LED lights and tiny figurines. They’re the new frontier for backyard enthusiasts, but because they occupy space and sometimes glitter at night, zoning ordinances are stepping in. This manual provides a step‑by‑step guide to ensure your shrine is both compliant and secure.

2. Key Definitions

3. Security Requirements

Security is twofold: physical safety of the shrine and legal compliance with zoning laws. Below are the technical specs you need to keep in mind.

3.1 Physical Build

• Material: Use weather‑resistant composites; avoid flammable wood.
• Height: Maximum 3 feet from ground level unless special permit obtained.
• Weight: Must not exceed 200 lbs to prevent foundation strain.

3.2 Lighting Specs

# LED strip configuration
strip_length = 2.0 # meters
lumens_per_meter = 150
total_lumens = strip_length * lumens_per_meter

if total_lumens > 300:
  raise ValueError("Too bright for residential zoning!")

The above pseudo‑Python ensures you stay under the 300 lumens ceiling recommended by most municipalities.

3.3 Setback Compliance

Calculate your setback using the formula:

setback = (shrine_width + 0.5) * 1.2

Where shrine_width is in meters. The result must be at least 1.5 meters from any property line.

4. Compliance Checklist

Use this bulleted checklist to ensure you’re ready for the zoning inspector’s visit.

• ✔️ Shrine height ≤ 3 ft
• ✔️ Setback ≥ 1.5 m
• ✔️ Lighting ≤ 300 lumens
• ✔️ Structural stability: no loose parts, secure fasteners
• ✔️ No pets or children can access the shrine without supervision
• ✔️ Signage: “Goldblum Shrine – Approved by City of …” visible
