Solar Energy

The city's zoning code defines and permits accessory and primary-use solar energy systems. It allows PV systems as accessory uses in all districts, except that a system as an accessory use to a nonresidential use in a residential district requires a special exception (§73.1.1(5)). Standards address system placement, height, glare, screening, and decommissioning.

It also allows for PV solar energy production facilities as a primary use in all nonresidential districts except office districts as a special exception use subject to standards, including maximum area of use, setbacks and height, screening, safety signage, undergrounding of electrical connections, lighting, aesthetic design considerations, and decommissioning (§92.5.3(39)).
