Centerville 2040 <br /> x <br /> CHAPTER 8: RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY <br /> As required by state statute, a municipality's comprehensive plan must also include strategies <br /> for protection of special resources, including solar access, historic preservation, and <br /> aggregate. These strategies are discussed below. <br /> Solar Access <br /> The City's zoning and subdivision ordinance prevents solar collectors from being shaded by <br /> adjacent structures or vegetation and ensures that development decisions do not preclude <br /> the possible future development and use of solar energy systems. To ensure the availability <br /> of solar access,the City of Centerville will,whenever possible, protect access to direct sunlight <br /> for solar energy systems on principle structures. The City of Centerville will consider solar <br /> access in the review of site plans and planning decisions. <br /> As part of its implementation plan, the City will be developing an ordinance to regulate both <br /> architectural and ground mount solar energy systems. <br /> Map 8-1 provided by the Metropolitan Council depicts the gross solar potential for the City. <br /> Chapter 8 1 Page 1 <br /> 129 <br />
