solar energy

In the city's subdivision regulations, the requirements for improvements, reservations, and design addresses solar siting. Where feasible, lot arrangement should be such that building sites will have maximum use of energy conservation measures, such as providing for solar access (Sec. 4-102.1). When solar is a primary consideration, side lot lines should run from due north to south, with a variation of up to 25 degrees of this axis permitted (Sec. 4-102.2).
