The purpose of this Chapter is to promote a sustainable quality of life and establish regulations to facilitate the use and operation of Solar Energy Systems within the Village of Granville in all zoning districts.
As part of this Chapter, it is in the public interest to encourage Solar Energy Systems that have a positive impact on energy conservation, with limited adverse impact on the community. While the Village of Granville finds that increased use of Solar Energy Systems are an important component of community sustainability, reasonable restrictions that, protect the public health, safety, and welfare; preserve the enjoyment of private property; promote orderly land use; and maintain property values and historic aesthetics are necessary to harmonize the interests of all Village residents.
