Gerald and Dan,

This is the only reference Zinder and I found to standards forsolar panels in the whole Municipal Code. It’s basically an allowed use but most zones, except Industrial zones. Unfortunately, though, there are no development standards that relate to this use.

Zinder and I are wondering why we are subjecting the solar companies to a review prior to building permit, if we don’t have standards.

Since you were around when this code was developed, do you have any recollection about why the City reviews these prior to Clackamas County permit?

I also have a call in to Clackamas County with the same question.

Please share any thoughts you have….We would appreciate it.

Alice
