Commission flags rooftop deck and solar-panel rules for clearer code placement

Jul 16, 2026

The commission identified misplaced rooftop-appurtenance language in the code and discussed solar panel tilt and reflectivity; staff will relocate and clarify rooftop rules and consider limits on tilt/angle to avoid inadvertent height increases or glare impacts.

The full story

Commissioners noted an existing rooftop-appurtenance section hidden in the code's miscellaneous regulations and suggested bringing that language closer to the height and building sections for clarity. Staff read from the current code and listed exempted appurtenances (skylights, antenna, dish antennas, solar panels), then agreed to amend placement and clarify definitions.
