Chapter 85. Zoning

Article XXXI. Renewable Energy Systems

§ 85-812. Solar energy production.

Latest version.

A.
Purpose.

(1)
It is important to provide renewable energy facilities. It is equally important to protect our natural resources by providing standards for solar energy production facilities on those lands that have been previously cleared and/or disturbed.

(2)
It is altogether reasonable that the Town Board makes adequate provisions for these facilities, and it is imperative that such facilities do not adversely affect surrounding and nearby properties.

(3)
It is therefore the intent of this section to provide adequate safeguards for the location, siting and operation of solar energy production facilities and solar collection systems.

Editor's Note: See §§ 85-813 through 85-818.
