Resident asks Millcreek Board about increasing allowed roof coverage for solar panels

Millcreek Township Board of Supervisors · January 1, 2026

Summary

A resident asked whether the township's 25% roof-coverage limit for solar panels could be increased; board advised him to bring the plan to the Planning Commission and notify Lebanon County Planning Department, with a zoning hearing required if the plan does not meet the zoning ordinance.

During the opening of the regular meeting, resident Mike Sheetz of 24 Round Barn Road asked whether the township’s current limit—allowing solar panels on up to 25% of a roof—could be changed to accommodate more panels on his roof.

Board members advised Sheetz to present his plan to the Planning Commission and to notify the Lebanon County Planning Department for review. If the county or township staff determine the plan does not meet the Zoning Ordinance, Sheetz was told he would need to pursue relief before the Zoning Hearing Board.
