Solar Panels Ordinance
 Solar Panels Ordinance - May
2010 |
Solar panels
come in a variety of sizes and designs to accommodate private use in
a residential or business setting, including freestanding structures
and structurally attached panels. The ordinance permits freestanding
solar panels in all districts and subject to the existing ordinance
requirements for accessory structures already outlined in the Zoning
Ordinance. Structurally attached solar panels are also permitted in
all districts after administrative review and approval by City
Staff. Structurally attached panels are not permitted to project
vertically above the peak of any sloped roof on which they are
installed or project more than five feet above any flat roof on
which they are installed.
Residents interested in learning more about this ordinance or in installing a solar panel should contact the Community Development Department at 248-347-0475.
