1111 shall not exceed half the building footprint of the <br /> principal structure. <br /> 4. Approved Components:Electric solar energy system <br /> components must have a UL listing. <br /> 5. Plan Approval Required:All solar energy systems shall <br /> require administrative plan approval by the Community <br /> Development Department. <br /> a. Applications:Plan application for solar energy <br /> systems shall be accompanied by scaled horizontal <br /> and vertical(elevation) drawings.The drawings must <br /> show the location of the system on the building, <br /> or on the property for a ground-mount system, <br /> including the property lines. <br /> b.
