170 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />There are currently no electric power generating facilities installed within the MRCCA boundary. <br />There is however a solar garden owned and operated by Connexus Energy just outside of the <br />boundary. The City and will work with Connexus Energy to minimize the visual impact future <br />transmission lines to the system would have on PCAs and PRCVs in the area. Solar power <br />generating facilities are allowed as an accessory use is all city zoning districts. Ground mounted <br />solar energy systems are required to comply with all building setbacks in the applicable zoning <br />district. The height of ground mounted solar energy systems at maximum designed tilt shall not <br />exceed the distance from the nearest property boundary or the maximum allowable building height <br />for the applicable zoning district, whichever is more restrictive. Building mounted solar energy <br />systems shall comply with the maximum allowable building height for the applicable zoning <br />district. The limitations on height to be in conformance with height of other structures in the <br />zoning district will limit the amount of impact a solar energy system could have on area PRCV’s. <br />MRCCA Policies <br />Districts/Land Use <br />Policy 1: The City will implement the policies of the Critical Area by adopting the new MRCCA <br />districts within our Zoning Code and amend the City’s Zoning Map accordingly. <br />Policy 2: The City will protect native and existing vegetation during the development process and <br />require restoration if any is removed by development. Priorities for restoration shall include <br />stabilization of erodible soils, riparian buffers and bluffs or steep slopes visible from the river. <br />Policy 3: Identify and encourage connection of CA-SR district land to existing and planned parks <br />and trails for Local Governing Units (LGUs) with developable land in CA-SR districts.
