Name: | City of Ashland Municipal Code Chapter 18.4.8 |
The City of Ashland has been promoting the use of solar energy since 1981, when it passed one of the first city-wide solar rights, or access, protection ordinances in the United States. This ordinance contains solar setback provisions designed to ensure that shadows at the north property line do not exceed a certain height, depending on the zone in which the property is located.
Property owners can apply for a Solar Access Permit for protection of shading by vegetation only. Shading by buildings is protected by the solar setback provision.
