- Created an online permitting checklist, increasing transparency for community members and solar installers.
- Reviewed local zoning codes and identified restrictions that intentionally or unintentionally prohibit solar PV development
- Allowed solar by-right accessory use in all zones (so solar installations don’t require special permits or hearings)
- Cross-trained both inspection and permitting staff on solar PV
We are so excited to have been designated as a SolSmart Silver community...We take great pride in our sustainability initiative and efforts in moving towards a more green and eco-friendly city.
- Mayor Andy Schor
