025 Section 7. That Article 4, Table 4.6 -1 PERMITTED USE MATRIX be rewritten to include a new land use category for Solar Collector Facilities as follows: Section 8. That Article 5. Supplemental Development regulations be rewritten to create a new Section 5.39 Commercial Solar Collector Facilities as follows: S. 39.1 SOLAR COLLECTION FACILITY DEFINED A solar collection facility is an area of land developed with a solar energy system and includes the components and subsystems required to covert solar energy into electric or thermal energy suitable for use. The area of the system includes all the land inside the perimeter of the system, which extends to any fencing. The term applies, but is not limited to, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar thermal systems, and solar hot water systems. A solar collection facility may be designed with solar arrays installed as fixed systems or tracking systems. Fixed systems are mounted on stationary racks and developers set the angle and orientation of the stationary system to maximize sun exposure - through the day and the seasons - while balancing other factors such as density of rows, wind force, and visibility. Tracking systems are equipped with mechanical components so the panels track the sun through the sky on either one or two axes. 5.39.2 APPLICABILITY This section shall apply to all uses of land that include the development of a ground- mounted solar collection facility and does not include the installation of roof - mounted or building - integrated solar panels on a commercial or residential structure, which is allowed as a component of the structure and /or an accessory use. A solar collection facility legally established prior to the effective date of this ordinance shall remain exempt from these standards. This ordinance does not supersede regulations from local, state, or federal agencies, including, but not limited to, any type of overlay district, glare hazard regulations, aviation notification or military installation notification that may be required. • E. .L G T t0 L QS eC �, — d y •� 7 C ai i� � 'C 'C ^C •� p m Use • y Z v1 m y f tr •C A U 4 LG 7 b V 7 p u y Y D D eC C _R 9 C y a d = s wr w y d d h a o u a ca :; x ., Solar Collector Facility, Commercial (see 5.39) 310 SID SID SID SID SID SID S/D S/D S/D S/D S/D S/D - =SID Section 8.
