I saw a similar question regarding uplight, but is it possible for a building-mounted light fixture to be excluded from the glare requirements if it is shielded from the lighting boundary by another part of the building itself? The project is in LZ2. Could I use Option 2 to determine compliance for only those fixtures? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Yes, a solid part of the building can be used as a shield to block lighting. Plants cannot. You can use Option 1 or 2.
