Ph 5/22 4:31 Pm - Chapter 280 - Commercial Solar Energy Systems
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
th
County, New York, on the 10 day of April, 2018, a Local Law entitled “A Local Law in
relation to Amendments to Chapter 280 as it pertains to the siting of commercial solar
energy systems” now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will hold a public hearing on the

22 day of May at 4:31 p.m. at which time all interested persons will be given an opportunity

as it pertains to siting of commercial solar energy systems” reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2018
A Local Law entitled, “A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 280 as it
pertains to siting of commercial solar energy systems”
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - April 10, 2018
Page 34
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. Purpose. The Town Board of the Town of Southold recognizes the importance of renewable
energy facilities. However, it is equally important to protect our natural resources by
providing standards for solar energy production facilities on those lands that have been
previously cleared and/or disturbed. It is altogether reasonable that the Town Board makes
adequate provisions for these facilities, and it is imperative that such facilities do not
adversely affect surrounding and nearby properties. It is therefore the intent of this section
to provide adequate safeguards for the location, siting and operation of solar energy
production facilities and solar collection systems.
II. Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows:
Article XIV
Light Industrial Park/Planned Office Park (LIO) District
\[Added 1-10-1989 by L.L. No. 1-1989\]
§ 280-57 Purpose.
The purpose of the Light Industrial Park/Planned Office Park (LIO) District is to provide
opportunity for the location of business and professional offices, research facilities, industrial
uses and similar activities in an open, campus-like setting in areas which are not appropriate for
commercial activity or low-density residential development. In this area, such uses can be
established in an attractive environment and serve both as a means of preserving the open
qualities of an area and providing an area adjacent to hamlet areas where such uses can be
appropriately developed with suitable protection for ground- and surface waters. All uses must
conform to Suffolk County Health Department standards.
§ 280-58 Use regulations.
In the LIO District, no building or premises shall be used and no building or part of a building
shall be erected or altered which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, in whole or in part,
for any purpose except the following:
A. Permitted uses. The following uses are permitted uses and, except for those uses permitted
under Subsection A(1) hereof, are subject to site plan approval by the Planning Board:
\[Amended 5-9-1989 by L.L. No. 6-1989; 11-29-1994 by L.L. No. 26-1994; 4-28-1997 by
L.L. No. 6-1997\]
B. Uses permitted by special exception of the Board of Appeals. The following uses are
permitted as a special exception by the Board of Appeals as hereinafter provided, except
Subsection B(10), which may be permitted as a special exception by the Planning Board,
and all such special exception uses shall be subject to site plan approval by the Planning
Board: \[Amended 5-23-1989 by L.L. No. 7-1989; 4-28-1997 by L.L. No. 6-1997; 11-12-
1997 by L.L. No. 26-1997; 2-12-2013 by L.L. No. 2-2013; 6-17-2014 by L.L. No. 7-2014\]

clearing.
(cb) All ground-mounted panels shall not exceed the height of eight feet.
(dc) All mechanical equipment of the commercial solar energy system, including any
structure for batteries or storage cells, shall be completely enclosed by a minimum
eight-foot-high fence with a self-locking gate.
(ed) Notwithstanding any requirement in § 280-63 of this chapter, the total surface
area of all ground-mounted and freestanding solar collectors, including solar
photovoltaic cells, panels, and arrays, shall not exceed 80% of the total parcel
area.
(fe) A minimum twenty-five-foot perimeter buffer, consisting of natural and
undisturbed vegetation, supplemented with evergreen plantings, as needed, shall
be provided around all mechanical equipment and solar panel arrays to provide
screening from adjacent residential properties and Town, county and state roads.
A vegetated perimeter buffer shall be installed to provide year-round screening of
the system from adjacent properties.
(gf) A minimum setback for a solar energy production facility and equipment used in
conjunction with the solar energy production facility shall be located at least 100
feet from any residential dwelling or zone
(hi) All solar energy production systems shall be designed and located in order to
prevent reflective glare toward any habitable buildings as well as streets and
rights-of-way.
(ij) All on-site utility and transmission lines shall be, to the extent feasible, placed
underground.
(ji) A clearly visible warning sign concerning voltage must be placed at the base of all
pad-mounted transformers and substations.
(kj) The system shall be designed and situated to be compatible with the existing uses on
adjacent and nearby properties.
(lk) In approving a special exception, the Planning Board may waive or modify any of the
above criteria if it finds that there is no detriment to public health, safety and welfare.
(ml) Any special exception approval granted under this article shall have a term of 20 years,
commencing from the grant of the special exception, which may be extended for
additional five-year terms upon application to the Planning Board.
(nm) Decommissioning/removal:
\[1\] Any commercial solar energy production system that is not operated for a continuous
period of 24 months shall be deemed abandoned. At that time, the owner of the
commercial solar energy production system or the owner of the property where the
commercial solar energy production system is located shall remove all components
