Electrical load calcs required for ALL projects (even for MPU) Solar Access and Shading. Proposed land development shall not shade existing yards, walls or roofs oriented within 15° of true south on abutting lots to a greater extent than a hypothetical 25-foot high wall constructed on the property line between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on December 21. Applicants may demonstrate conformance with this standard by either: (1) Showing that the building height minus 25 feet and then divided by the distance between the building and the property line equals 0.25 or less or (2) Submitting a solar shading diagram. 3206.D Nonconforming Shading. The Development Review Board may waive or modify the provisions of this section for previously developed lots that already shade abutting property to a greater extent than allowed under this section provided that the amount of shading is not increased further. Figure 3-23. Solar Shading Diagram 3206.E Solar Siting. Unless the Development Review Board determines that use of solar energy is not feasible due to site-specific conditions, the roof surface of new buildings shall: (1) Be flat or oriented so that its long axis is within 30° of a true east-west direction. (2) Be physically and structurally capable of supporting at least 75 square feet of solar collectors per dwelling unit in the building or, for nonresidential buildings, capable of providing at least ½ the anticipated hot water needs of the building. (3) Have unimpeded solar access.
