Description/History

The Zoning Ordinance allows roof-mounted solar panel systems on a residence provided that the panels are not located on a front or side roof slope facing a public street.  The City Council may approve an alternate location at one (1) meeting after holding a public hearing and written notice sent to owners of real property within 200 feet of the request.

 

The homeowner at 2116 Harvest Way is requesting that solar panels be allowed on the front slope of his roof facing the street.  He has included a letter describing the reduction in solar energy and loss of Oncor rebate as well as pictures showing the solar panels would be mostly hidden by trees in the front yard.
