is Part 12 of planning and zoning, title six, zoning, general provisions of the chapter 1262, the definition is the meaning of the words and phrases. Solar energy systems, a device, array of devices, or structural design feature the purpose of which is to provide for generation and or storage of electricity from sunlight or the collection storage and distribution of solar energy for space heating or cooling daylight, for interior lighting or water heating. SES units include the following, building integrated SES and SES is an integral part of a primary or accessory building or structure, rather than a separate mechanical device replacing or substituting for an architectural or structural component of the building structure. Building integrated systems include, but are not limited to photo photovoltaic, VIP V or hot water solar energy systems that are contained within the roof, material, windows, skylights, awnings, fences or walls. Do use Am I reading the numbers here? We got 12, 62x, y the numbers on the side, it represents the actual numbers that are going to be placed in the ordinance that doesn't need to be read. Do use SES. This is an solar energy system. Subtype designation may be applicable when the design of an SES increases the overall productivity of a property by means such as using vertical clearance to enable vehicle parking underneath the SAS. We're talking about a solar powered canopy, a carport, a canopy above a parking lot, of parking spaces, land management or the conservation practices listed below these types of SES are encouraged, but may not require deviation from the city during the special land use review process. Example, of proposed grass or planting height or landscape plans conflict with the city or other requirements under that same dual use. SES item a agrivoltaic solar sites that combine raising crops for food, fiber, fuel and generating electricity within a projected area, or maximum land use, conservation cover, B solar sites, design and consultation with conservation organizations that focus on restoring native plants, grasses and Prairie within the aim protected specifics, aimed at protecting specific species, example, bird habitats, or providing specific ecosystem services, carbon sequestration or soil health. C pollinator habitat solar sites designed to meet a score of 76 or more for the Michigan pollinator habitat planning scoreboard for solar site, alternatively, the tier two pilot pollination scoreboard developed by the right of way as habitat working group, can be used to evaluate, evaluate pollinator habitat and management practices. General, mounted SES, an SES mounted on a rack or pole that is balustered on or attached to the ground, and the system is accessory to the primary use. Ground mounted SES, principal use, a solar voltage system mounted on a rack or pole that is balustered on or attached to the ground, and is the primary land use for the parcel or which on which it is located. Repowering, in addition to repairing and replacing the SES components to maintain this, to maintain the system a principal use SES may at any time, be repowered by reconfiguring, renovating or replacing the SES to increase the power rating within the existing projected footprint. A proposed change, a proposal to change the project footprint of an existing SES may be considered a new building application, subject to the ordinance standards at the time of the request, Roof Mounted SES and SES mounted on racking that is attached to or battles to the roof of a building or structure. Solar panels are fixed on the roof or the carport structure or mounted on a free standing canopy or pergola. Our roof mounted SES solar access, unobstructed access to direct sunlight on a lot or building through the entire year includes access to a cross adjacent parcel, air rights for the purpose of capturing direct sunlight to operate the SES solar voltaic, or PV system of SES that uses semiconductor material to convert solar energy directly into electricity. The primary components of this type of SES are solar panels, mounting devices, inverters and wiring components may also include cleaning mechanisms and sun tracking sensors and mechanisms, etc. Solar thermal systems, the type of SES that converts sunlight into heat. Examples include, but are not limited to solar air, solar hot air systems, also referred to as solar air heat, or solar furnace or solar hot water systems, solar rights, easements of direct sunlight. Solar access may be acquired over the land by another of another may be legally obtained by expression and grant of grant covenant. So across references, we're moving into the next section of cross references, chapter 12, 64.12 major use groups of SES, solar energy systems. Part 12, planning and zoning. Title six, zoning provisions of the chapter 1264, land use classification system. Intent under 12, 6401 12, 6402 classification of the system, 1264, 12, major group use that is solar energy systems, SES, 1264, 12, doubtful use classifications under 1264, 12, major use group, SES, solar system, the intent the city of Highland Park solar energy systems ordinance intends to, one, provide a renewable, abundant, local distribution, resilient and non polluting energy resource. Two, decrease the cost of energy. Three, improve quality of life for current residents, while also protecting the public health, safety and welfare. Four, protect property owners rights to construct SES in all zoning districts and protect legal permissions from landlords to tenants. Five, encourage and support environmental site design through conservation and preservation in places, example, woodlands, wetlands, cultural resources that should not be disturbed. Six, increase employment and business development in the region by furthering the installation of SES this ordinance does not prohibit the sale of excess power through the net billing, net metering or net credit or other arrangements in accordance with Michigan laws overseen by the Michigan Public Service Commission, npsc, or any other federal statute. Administration of this SES ordinance is to be jointly executed by municipal city Highland Park departments who will also who will each have unique responsibilities for specific aspects of its implementation. These departments include the Department of Public Works, building Department, Department of Engineering, Department of Community Economic Development and or the planning department and fire department be permitted uses. Solar energy systems are permitted as these are SES types allowable due to zoning. Accessory use, roof mounted, I just read this, so I'm just repeating Roof Mounted principal use, ground mounted principal use, ground mounted less than an acre, one acre or more principal use, ground mounting any size. The allowable zones consider all district, all non residential districts, all non residential districts for ground use of greater than the acre for our residential uses, our uses under Section C. Hold on a second. I'm making sure that I'm not reading redundant material under Section C u standards, Roof Mounted building integrated SES the roof mounted solar energy system shall comply with applicable state and local fire codes to ensure emergency access to roofs. Provide pathways to specific areas of the roof, provide areas for smoke ventilation and provide emergency address to the roof cannot exceed the height of the underlying zoning district to produce more than six feet above the highest point of the roof to which it is attached if the building is already at height. Height limit the SCSI variance request cannot exceed six feet of the allowance. See all exempt from screening requirements. D, solar panels cannot protrude beyond edge of the roof. E, solar panels are fixed on a roof or carport structure or the pergolas, type of freestanding canopy or roof mount assist SES, both types of freestanding structures. Ses can be used for accessory uses under SES. Carports do not count towards the maximum percentage of lot coverage. New carts and commercial districts should consider the height for emergency vehicles. Clearance of the carports tilt snow and sheep for shed provide different heights of restrictions for photovoltaic collections associated in structural sources. We're going to move on to ground mount imma. Pass it on to you. Madam ProTeam, if you were paying attention, you can pick up where I left off. Go right ahead. Underground mount of SES, and we will rotate around through the rest of the members. There are five of us. We're all going to read this. Go right ahead. Man, a pro tem, I'm waiting so we can pick up right under. Ground mounted double I if somebody will pick up right there.
