In plain language
This bill allows carport-mounted solar systems in certain zoning districts.
The bill prevents local governments from banning carport-mounted solar energy systems with a capacity of five megawatts or less in non-residential and mixed zoning areas. It also requires minimizing agricultural impacts if the zoning is in a certified agricultural district.
What this means for you
- Environment: This means more opportunities to generate renewable energy from solar installations in various zoning areas.
Summary
Prohibits local governments from prohibiting the construction, installation, or operation of carport-mounted solar energy systems with a nameplate capacity of five megawatts or less, in any non-residential zoning district or mixed commercial and residential zoning district of any such city, town or village, provided however, if the zoning district is a certified agricultural district the agricultural impacts of the projects shall be minimized to the extent practicable.
