solar energy

The county's zoning code addresses solar energy systems in its section on accessory uses (§155-10.10.G). The code provides standards for building-mounted and ground-mounted solar energy systems that address setbacks, height, and location, and notes that system owners are responsible for negotiating any solar access protections with neighbors.

The county's zoning code addresses the keeping of horses, farm animals, and micro-livestock as an accessory use (§155-10.10.B.2). In the A-2 and Estate districts, 1 "animal unit" is permitted per acre. In R-1 and R-2 districts, a special use permit is required for horses and farm animals, but chicken-keeping is allowed by right on lots of at least 12,500 SF. In R-2A, R-3, and R-4 districts, chicken-keeping is allowed by right on lots of at least 12,500 SF, and the keeping of rabbits, pygmy goats, pigs, and bees may be approved as a special use; a 25' setback from existing dwellings on adjacent properties is required for structures housing farm animals or microlivestock.
