that, without the minor exception , may be inconsistent

or to grading standards may be granted by a committee

SECTION TWO: That Section 43 . 70 be added to Ordinance No . 1000 of
the City of Redlands reading as follows :
Section 43 . 70 : SOLAR COLLECTOR AND STORAGE TANK INSTALLATION
The intent of the regulations in this section is to protect the
general welfare by providing a means of enabling the installation
of solar systems in such a manner that they are compatible with
the architectural characteristics of the City. Solar systems
have been proven to be one of the most efficient means of con-
serving non-renewable energy resources and these sections are not
to be construed as discouraging the installation of any type of
solar system. However, solar systems do have the capacity to
detract from the aesthetic environment of neighborhood or
commercial areas if care is not taken in locating the equipment.
(a) Solar Collector System Location. The installation of solar
collectors shall be a permitted use in all zoning districts.
Flat type absorber style collectors may be mounted at any
location of a roof when mounted parallel with the roof
surface and the entire unit is within twelve (12) inches of
the roof surface. However, non flat plate absorber type
collectors (i.e. coiled tubing, parabolic reflectors , tank
type absorber units , and other type units) , flat plate
absorber style units not parallel and within twelve (12)
inches of the roof surface , or absorber units mounted on
racks shall be mounted only on the rear portions of the roof
below the peak line and when possible located where least
visible from a public street.
whenever possible , the piping to and from collectors should
be hidden from view. When this is not possible , the piping
should be run in the most direct manner so that the least
amount of piping is exposed. The exposed piping should then
be painted to match the material over which it is run.
Any type of solar collectors may be placed on flat roofs
(slopes less than two (2) vertical to twelve (12) hori-
zontal) provided said solar collectors are so located that
they are not visible from any point six (6) feet above a
street or sidewalk or are screened from view by a parapet
wall or screening that is architecturally compatible with
the balance of the structure .
(b) water Storage Tanks Location. Water storage tanks may not
be located in a front yard area. water storage tanks may be
placed in all required side or rear yards , except no storage
tank may be placed within the side yard abutting a public
street nor may a water storage tank encroach into the ten
(10) foot side yard which is required along the garage side
of residential properties . Storage tanks , if placed in side
or rear yards , may not exceed six (6) feet in height nor may
the storage tanks be placed nearer than three (3) feet to a
side or rear property line.
SECTION THREE : This Ordinance shall be in force and take effect
as provided by law.
SECTION FOUR: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Ordinance and cause it to be published once in the Redlands Daily Facts ,
a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in this City.
