Rooftop activity and equipment, including ventilators, on hospitals,
medical clinics, laboratories and other research facilities shall
be housed in a fully enclosed building or screened so as not to be
visible from off the lot, and no noise or odors shall be created which
are discernible beyond the boundaries of the lot.
Auto body repair or painting places shall be in buildings and
not outdoors. Also, except for instances required by legal action,
vehicles may only be stored on site for a maximum of 90 days.
Solar panels exceeding two square feet in area are not permitted
in any front yard, on any face of a building or structure facing a
street unless integrated with the ordinary construction of said building
or structure, and/or in view of any adjacent street, except roof-mounted
solar panels as set forth below.
A. Ground-mounted solar panels shall:
(1)
Be located in a side or rear yard only.
(2)
Not exceed eight feet in height above the ground.
(3)
Be fully screened from adjacent properties by fencing or a combination
of evergreen and deciduous plantings.
(4)
Be considered accessory structures for determining setback requirements.
B. Roof-mounted solar panels.
(1)
Permitted roof-mounted solar panels shall include integrated
solar panels as the surface layer of the roof structure with no additional
apparent change in relief or projection (the preferred installation)
or separate flush-mounted solar panels attached to the roof structure.
(2)
Separate flush-mounted solar panels shall be located on a rear
or side facing roof, as viewed from any adjacent street, unless such
installation is proven to be ineffective or impossible. The removal
of potential obstructions such as interceding vegetation shall not
be sufficient cause for permitting a front-facing roof installation.
(3)
Separate flush-mounted solar panels installed on a building
or structure with a sloped roof structure shall not project vertically
above the peak of the roof to which they are attached or project vertically
more than five feet above a flat roof installation.
