Solar energy systems in accordance with the standards in this section <br />are allowed as a permitted accessory use in all zoning districts. <br />(2) Exemption: Passive or building- integrated solar energy systems are exempt from the <br />requirements of this section and shall be regulated as any other building element. <br />(3) Standards. <br />(a) Location. In residential zoning districts, ground- mounted solar energy systems are <br />limited to the rear yard. In non - residential zoning districts, ground- mounted solar energy <br />systems may be permitted in the side yard meeting accessory structure requirements in § <br />152.360. <br />(b) Height. Roof - mounted solar energy systems shall comply with the maximum height <br />requirements in the applicable zoning district. Ground mounted solar energy systems shall not <br />exceed 15 feet in height. <br />(c) Setbacks. Ground - mounted solar energy systems shall comply with all accessory <br />structure setbacks in the applicable zoning district. Roof - mounted systems shall comply with all <br />building setbacks in the applicable zoning district and shall not extend beyond the exterior <br />perimeter of the building on which the system is mounted. <br />(d) Roof mounting. Roof mounted solar collectors shall be flush mounted on pitched roofs <br />unless the roof pitch is determined to be inadequate for optimum performance of the solar energy <br />system in which case the pitch of the solar collector may exceed the pitch of the roof up to 5% <br />but in no case shall be higher than ten inches above the roof. Solar collectors may be bracket - <br />mounted on flat roofs. <br />http : / /www.amlegal.com /alpscripts /get- content.aspx 1/16/2014 <br />
