allowed height in any zoning district by one foot. Any building which
is preexisting nonconforming in terms of height requirements may be
increased by one foot, provided that any such system shall comply
with the other provisions of the Zoning Code. For purposes for height
measurement, solar systems other than building-integrated systems

photovoltaic solar systems shall be allowed regardless of visibility,
provided that the building component in which the system is integrated
meets all required setbacks and regulations for the district in which
the building is located.
