Key South Norfolk Local Historic District Design Guidelines:
Roof
• 12) If solar collectors, skylights, rooftop satellite dishes, or other modern roof
elements are used, install them out of public view. Use the smallest satellite dish
possible (pg. 32)
Satellite Dishes, Antennas, and Solar Collectors
• 4) Roof mounted solar collectors are discouraged on front elevations facing a
paved public street (pg. 52)
• 5) If permitted, solar collectors should be as small as possible consistent with
operational requirements and not damage the historic integrity of the structure
(pg. 52)
• 6) Solar collectors should be mounted at an angle which is as close to the
adjacent roof slope as possible (pg. 52)
Additional Notes from Planning Department:
Solar panels placed on the south roof will be visible from Jackson Avenue, panels
placed on the north roof will likely not be visible.
