ORDINANCE POSTPONING SOLAR ACCESS ORDINANCE IMPLEMENTATION \. ' Mr. Gleason introduced the item. P;anning Director Susan Brody gave the staff report. She said the Solar Access Regulations were passed by the council in 1986. They took effect January 1, 1987, except for the solar setback portion of regulations, which was postponed by the council until July 1, 1987. She said staff was recommending that the council postpone the solar setback part of the Solar Access Regulations for three more months until October 1, 1987. She said this would allow further time for needed training and an opportunity for the council to hear the concerns of the building community regarding the solar setback requirements. She said a public forum is scheduled for July 22. Ms. Wooten asked whether the Springfield building community has expressed similar concerns about the solar setback requirements that were adopted by Springfield, and whether Springfield has implemented its Solar Access Regulations. Ms. Brody said she thought that Springfield had implemented its solar setback requirements. Ms. Bascom said that although some people are concerned about the solar setback requirements, there are also examples on the other side of the issue. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 8, 1987 Page 5
