Description: Install solar panels at a Landmark, 1-1/2 story, multi-family residential building.Â
Staff Recommendations:
As proposed, the solar layout is considered visually unobtrusive from the public right of-way, by the Guidelines. The only panels that will be visible from the public right-of-way are at the rear low-slope porch infill and the rear wing. While the visible panels are not in a contiguous pattern, due to existing roof projections, Staff feels that the layout is sensitive to the historic building. Staff believes that solar panels and other technology that advances sustainability should be approved when possible and recommends approval of the application.
Recommendation: Approval.
