Community- and large-scale solar array

Supplemental Standards:
Principal uses. The Town of Trenton encourages the development of commercial or utility scale solar energy systems where such systems present few land use conflicts with current and future development patterns. Ground-mount solar energy systems that are the principal use on the development lot or lots are conditional uses in selected districts.
(a) Principal use general standards.[1] Site design. [a] Setbacks. Community- and large-scale solar arrays must meet the following setback requirements: [i] Property line setback for buildings or structures in the district in which the system is located, except as otherwise determined in Subsection B(2)(a)[1][a][v] below. [ii] Roadway setback of 150 feet from the road right-of-way, except as otherwise determined in Subsection B(2)(a)[1][a][v] below. [iii] Housing unit setback of 150 feet from any existing dwelling unit, except as otherwise determined in Subsection B(2)(a)[1][a][v] below. [iv] Setback distance should be measured from the edge of the solar energy system array, excluding security fencing, screening, or berm. [v] All setbacks can be reduced by 50% if the array is fully screened from the setback point of measurement.
[b] Screening. Community- and large-scale solar shall be screened from existing residential dwellings. [i] A screening plan shall be submitted that identifies the type and extent of screening. [ii] Screening shall be consistent with the Town's screening ordinance or standards typically applied for other land uses requiring screening. [iii] Screening shall not be required along property lines within the same zoning district, except where the adjoining lot has an existing residential use. [iv] The Town may require screening where it determines there is a clear community interest in maintaining a viewshed.
[c] Ground cover and buffer areas. The following provisions shall apply to the clearing of existing vegetation and establishment of vegetated ground cover. Additional site-specific conditions may apply as required by the Town. [i] Large-scale removal of mature trees on the site is discouraged. The Town may set additional restrictions on tree clearing or require mitigation for cleared trees. [ii] The applicant shall submit a vegetative management plan prepared by a qualified professional or reviewed and approved by a natural resource agency or authority, such as the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District, Land and Water Conservation Department or Natural Resource Conservation Service. The plan shall identify: [A] The natural resource professionals consulted or responsible for the plan. [B] The conservation, habitat, ecosystem, or agricultural goals, which may include providing habitat for pollinators such as bees and monarch butterflies, providing habitat for wildlife such as upland nesting birds and other wildlife, establishing vegetation for livestock grazing, reducing on-site soil erosion, and improving or protecting surface or groundwater quality. [C] The intended mix of vegetation upon establishment. [D] The management methods and schedules for how the vegetation will be managed on an annual basis, with particular attention given to the establishment period of approximately three years. [iii] Soils shall be planted and maintained in perennial vegetation for the full operational life of the project, to prevent erosion, manage runoff and build soil.[iv] Vegetative cover should include a mix of perennial grasses and wildflowers that will preferably result in a short stature prairie with a diversity of forbs or flowering plants that bloom throughout the growing season. Blooming shrubs may be used in buffer areas as appropriate for visual screening. Perennial vegetation options (grasses and forbs) are preferably native to Wisconsin, but where appropriate to the vegetative management plan goals, may also include other naturalized and non-invasive species which provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife and/or other ecosystem services (i.e., clovers). [v] Plant material must not have been treated with systemic insecticides, particularly neonicotinoids.
[d] Foundations. A qualified engineer shall certify that the foundation and design of the solar panel racking, and support is within accepted professional standards, given local soil and climate conditions.
[e] Power and communication lines. Power and communication lines running between banks of solar panels and to nearby electric substations or interconnections with buildings shall be buried underground. Exemptions may be granted by the Town in instances where shallow bedrock, water courses, or other elements of the natural landscape interfere with the ability to bury lines, or distance makes undergrounding infeasible, at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator.
[f] Fencing. Perimeter fencing for the site shall not include barbed wire or woven wire designs and shall preferably use wildlife-friendly fencing standards that include clearance at the bottom. Alternative fencing can be used if the site incorporates agrivoltaics.
[2] Stormwater and NPDES. Solar farms are subject to the Town's stormwater management and erosion and sediment control provisions and NPDES permit requirements. Solar collectors shall not be considered impervious surfaces if the project complies with ground cover standards, as described in Subsection B(2)(a)[1][c] of this section.
[3] Other standards and codes. All solar farms shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal regulatory codes, including the State of Wisconsin Uniform Building Code, as amended; and the National Electric Code, as amended.
[4] Site plan required. The applicant shall submit a detailed site plan for both existing and proposed conditions, showing locations of all solar arrays, other structures, property lines, rights-of-way, service roads, floodplains, wetlands and other protected natural resources, topography, electric equipment, and all other characteristics requested by the Town. The site plan should show all zoning districts and overlay districts.
[5] Aviation protection. For solar farms located within 500 feet of an airport or within approach zones of an airport, the applicant must complete and provide the results of a glare analysis through a qualitative analysis of potential impact, field test demonstration, or geometric analysis of ocular impact in consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Airports, consistent with the Interim Policy, FAA Review of Solar Energy Projects on Federally Obligated Airports, or most recent version adopted by the FAA.
[6] Agricultural protection. Solar farms must comply with site assessment or soil identification standards that are intended to identify agricultural soils. The Town may require mitigation for use of prime soils for solar array placement, including the following: [a] Demonstrating co-location of agricultural uses (agrivoltaics) on the project site. [b] Using an interim use or time-limited CUP that allows the site to be returned to agriculture at the end of life of the solar installation. [c] Placing agricultural conservation easements on an equivalent number of prime soil acres adjacent to or surrounding the project site. [d] Locating the project in a wellhead protection area for the purpose or removing agricultural uses from high risk recharge areas.
[7] Decommissioning. A decommissioning plan shall be required to ensure that facilities are properly removed after their useful life. [a] Decommissioning of the system must occur in the event the project is not in use for 12 consecutive months.[b] The plan shall include provisions for removal of all structures and foundations, restoration of soil and vegetation and assurances that financial resources will be available to fully decommission the site. [c] Disposal of structures and/or foundations shall meet the provisions of the Town's Solid Waste Ordinance. [d] The Town may require the posting of a bond, letter of credit or the establishment of an escrow account to ensure proper decommissioning.
[8] Community-scale solar. The Town permits the development of community-scale solar, subject to the following standards and requirements: [a] Rooftop gardens permitted. Rooftop community systems are permitted in all districts where buildings are permitted. [b] Community-scale uses. Ground-mount community solar energy systems must cover no more than 10 acres (project boundaries) and are a permitted use in industrial and agricultural districts and permitted with standards or conditional in all other nonresidential districts. Ground-mount solar developments covering more than 10 acres shall be considered large-scale solar. [c] Dimensional standards. All structures must comply with setback and height, standards for the district in which the system is located. [d] Other standards. Ground-mount systems must comply with all required standards for structures in the district in which the system is located.[e] Large-scale solar/solar farm. Ground-mount solar energy arrays that are the primary use on the lot, designed for providing energy to off-site uses or export to the wholesale market, are permitted as a conditional use in agricultural districts, industrial districts, shoreland and floodplain overlay districts, airport safety zones subject to Subsection B(2)(a)[5] of this section, and in the landfill/brownfield overlay district for sites that have completed remediation. (3) Restrictions on solar energy systems limited. As of (adoption date for this ordinance) [3] new homeowners' agreements, covenant, common interest community standards, or other contract between multiple property owners within a subdivision of the Town shall not restrict or limit solar energy systems to a greater extent than the Town's solar energy standards.
Editor's Note: Said adoption date is 8-26-2024.

Home occupation and professional home office

Districts Where Allowed Districts Allowed by Right CES CES-5 CES-10 R-1 R-2 R-3 R-4 R-5 R-6 R-7 C-1

Supplemental Standards:
(A) Intent. The intent of this section is to provide a means to accommodate a small family home occupation business or professional home office without the necessity of a rezone into a commercial district, in some instances as a permitted use and in others as a conditional use. Approval of an expansion of a limited family business or home occupation at a future time beyond the limitations of this section is not to be anticipated; relocation of the business to an area that is appropriately zoned may be necessary.
(B) Permitted home occupations. Home occupations and professional home offices are a permitted use in all residential districts and country estate districts, provided that the following standards are completely adhered to, and such uses are subject to the requirements of the district in which the use is located: (1) The home occupation shall be conducted only within the enclosed area of the dwelling unit or an attached garage. (2) There shall be no exterior alterations which change the character thereof as a dwelling and/or exterior evidence of the home occupation other than those signs permitted in the district. (3) No storage or display of materials, goods, supplies or equipment related to the operation of the home occupation shall be visible outside any structure located on the premises. (4) No use shall create smoke, odor, glare, noise, dust, vibration, fire hazard, small electrical interference or any other nuisance not normally associated with the average residential use in the district. (5) Only one sign may be used to indicate the type of occupation or business. Such sign shall not be illuminated. (6) The use shall not involve the use of commercial vehicles for more than occasional delivery of materials to or from the premises. (7) The use of the dwelling unit for the home occupation shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to its use for residential purposes by its occupants, and not more than 25% of the gross floor area of any one floor of the dwelling unit (including the basement or cellar) shall be used in the conduct of the home occupation. (8) The home occupation shall be restricted to a service-oriented business. The manufacturing of items or products or the retail sale of items or products on the premises is prohibited. (9) One nonresident employee may work at the home occupation or professional home office.(10) Under no circumstances shall a vehicle repair or body work business qualify as a home occupation.
(C) When conditional use permit required. A home occupation or professional home office which exceeds or does not satisfy the standards in Subsection B may only be maintained following the issuance of a conditional use permit. Uses which require retail sales, involve the parking or storage of commercial vehicles, or which utilize manufacturing or fabrication equipment require issuance of a conditional use permit or may be deemed as inappropriate for the site by the Town. The general intent of this section and the underlying zoning district shall be respected. Sale or transfer of the property shall cause the conditional use permit issued under this section to be null and void. Landscaping, lawn care, masonry, carpenter/contractor, and other businesses which may utilize off-site workers/employees are governed by § 380-48J. ((WRONG CITATION))

Supplemental Standards:
Solar energy systems are permitted as an accessory use in all zoning districts where structures of any sort are allowed, subject to the following:
(A) Solar carports and associated electric vehicle charging equipment are permitted as an accessory use on surface parking lots in all districts regardless of the existence of another building.
(B) Solar energy systems that do not meet the following design standards require a conditional use permit.
[1] Height. Solar energy systems must meet the following height requirements: [a] Building- or roof-mount solar energy systems shall not exceed the maximum allowed height in any zoning district. For purposes of height measurement, solar energy systems other than building-integrated systems shall be given an equivalent exception to height standards as building-mount mechanical devices or equipment. [b] Ground- or pole-mount solar energy systems shall not exceed 15 feet in height when oriented at maximum tilt. Note that if a ground- or pole-mount solar energy system is placed on uneven ground, the height requirement shall be interpreted to allow for proper installation. [c] Solar carports in nonresidential districts shall not exceed 20 feet in height.
[2] Setback. Solar energy systems must meet the accessory structure setback for the zoning district and primary land use associated with the lot on which the system is located, except as allowed below. [a] Roof- or building-mount solar energy systems. [i] The collector surface and mounting devices for roof-mount solar energy systems shall not extend beyond the exterior perimeter of the building on which the system is mounted or built, unless the collector and mounting system has been explicitly engineered to safely extend beyond the edge, and setback standards are not violated. [ii] Exterior piping for solar hot water systems shall be allowed to extend beyond the perimeter of the building on a side yard exposure. Solar collectors mounted on the sides of buildings and serving as awnings are considered building-integrated systems and are regulated as awnings. [b] Ground-mount solar energy systems. Ground-mount solar energy systems may not extend into the side-yard or rear setback when oriented at minimum design tilt, except as otherwise allowed for building mechanical systems.
[3] Visibility. Solar energy systems in residential districts shall be designed to minimize visual impacts from the public right-of-way, as described in Subsection B(1)(b)[3][a] through [c], to the extent that doing so does not affect the cost or efficacy of the system, consistent with Wis. Stats. § 66.0401.[a] Building integrated photovoltaic systems. Building integrated photovoltaic solar energy systems shall be allowed regardless of whether the system is visible from the public right-of-way, provided the building component in which the system is integrated meets all required setback, land use or performance standards for the district in which the building is located.[b] Aesthetic restrictions. Roof-mount or ground-mount solar energy systems shall not be restricted for aesthetic reasons if the system is not visible from the closest edge of any public right-of-way other than an alley, or if the system meets the following standards: [i] Roof-mount systems on pitched roofs that are visible from the nearest edge of the front right-of-way shall have the same finished pitch as the roof and be no more than 10 inches above the roof.[ii] Roof-mount systems on flat roofs that are visible from the nearest edge of the front right-of-way shall not be more than five feet above the finished roof and are exempt from any rooftop equipment or mechanical system screening. [c] Reflectors. All solar energy systems using a reflector to enhance solar production shall minimize glare from the reflector affecting adjacent or nearby properties.
[4] Lot coverage. Ground-mount systems total collector area shall not exceed the greater of half the building footprint of the principal structure or 2% of the area of the parcel. [a] Ground-mount systems shall be exempt from lot coverage or impervious surface standards if the soil under the collector is maintained in vegetation and not compacted. [b] Ground-mount systems shall not count toward accessory structure size and number limitations. [c] Solar carports in nonresidential districts are exempt from lot coverage limitations.
[5] Solar carports in residential districts exceeding 240 square feet require a conditional use permit. Solar carports of any size with more than one wall in residential districts are subject to the accessory structure size and number limitations for the specific district.
[6] Plan approval required. All solar energy systems requiring a building permit or other permit shall provide a site plan for review. [a] Plan applications. Plan applications for solar energy systems shall be accompanied by to-scale horizontal and vertical (elevation) drawings. The drawings must show the location of the system on the building or on the property for a ground-mount system, including the property lines. [b] Plan approvals. [i] Applications that meet the design requirements of this section shall be granted administrative approval by the zoning official and shall not require Plan Commission review. [ii] Applications requesting any variance on the design requirements of this section shall require Plan Commission review. [iii] Plan approval does not indicate compliance with the Building Code or Electric Code.
[7] Approved solar components. Electric solar energy system components must have a UL or equivalent listing and solar hot water systems must have an SRCC rating.
[8] Compliance with Building Code. All solar energy systems shall meet approval of the Town of Trenton Building Inspector, consistent with the State of Wisconsin Building Code or the Town of Trenton Building Code, and solar thermal systems shall comply with HVAC-related requirements of the Energy Code.
[9] Compliance with State Electric Code. All photovoltaic systems shall comply with the Wisconsin State Electric Code.
[10] Compliance with State Plumbing Code. Solar thermal systems shall comply with applicable Wisconsin State Plumbing Code requirements.
[11] Utility notification. All grid-intertie solar energy systems shall comply with the interconnection requirements of the electric utility. Off-grid systems are exempt from this requirement.
(C) Decommissioning. A decommissioning plan shall be required to ensure that facilities are properly removed after their useful life. [1] Decommissioning of the system must occur in the event the project is not in use for 12 consecutive months. [2] The plan shall include provisions for removal of all structures and foundations, restoration of soil and vegetation and assurances that financial resources will be available to fully decommission the site. [3] Disposal of structures and/or foundations shall meet the provisions of the Town's Solid Waste Ordinance. [4] The Town may require the posting of a bond, letter of credit or the establishment of an escrow account to ensure proper decommissioning.
