DC-3 17-1570 Resolution to Extend the Temporary Moratorium on Ground Mounted Solar Panels and Arrays in the Front Open Space in Residential and Parking Zoning Districts
Either we support alternative/solar energy or we don't. Having a moratorium on solar installations for aesthtic reasons seems to miss the mark. Remove the moratorium, don't extend it. If City Council and Planning Commission can't get it together to create guidelines, get out of the way and let the free market and residents decide what's best. Banning these installations is working against our stated goals. Lots of ugly things are allowed by our zoning that do less good than solar panels.
