July 18, 2022 — Meeting Transcript

This is a transcript of the Clayton Plan Commission / Architecture Review Board meeting held July 18, 2022. Excerpts cover discussion of potential changes to zoning regulations for rooftop solar panels (including that solar panels are not permitted on front-facing roofs and that amendments would require a text amendment or variance/alternative compliance), review and recommendation of a public art piece called "Campfire" with LED lighting and mirrored steel ribs, and agenda items for specific addresses (including a motion to continue the 7601 Westmoreland Avenue item to the next meeting). The transcript records procedural actions such as a vote to continue an agenda item ("All in favor? Aye.") and notes about installed/proposed solar panel counts and dimensions (six panels on the front-facing portion, eight on the rear; panels measure 3.5 by 6.5 feet and are set back at least three feet from roof edges).

Good evening, everyone. And welcome to the plan commission ARB for July 18th. Anyone in the audience that has a question or a comment, please raise your hand, whether you're in the council chamber or on zoom. So with that, let's start with the roll call. Here. Okay, we'll move right into our first item, which is a discussion on solar panel regulations. And let's see, I think Ryan. Sure, so we're going to put on the screen. One second here. So this is a letter from the sustainability committee they met previously in May to discuss and have recommended that the ARB consider modifications to this renewable energy section of the zoning code specifically addressing the restrictions from solar panels being located on a front facing roof. If you want to see if there's any panelists here. We were hoping that a member from the Sustainability Committee would be here tonight to represent this request. So we're going to check the panelists now. If there is not, then I recommend that we could still have a little discussion and you can either decide to wait for another meeting when we can solidify attendance from the sustainability committee members or direct staff to look at this and review some similar regulations and potential drafts and directions to go. Any revisions to the renewable energy section of the code would require the text amendment process, so this would include staff writing some draft recommendations for the code language, and then would also involve a public hearing.
