While trees have long been used to complement solar planning and site design such as providing deciduous trees in strategic locations to cool areas in summer and providing solar access in winter, providing of adequate solar access may sometimes conflict with protection of existing trees, particularly conifers. When established city goals designed for different purposes conflict, balancing of different community and individual needs must be accomplished. In implementing the goals of this chapter, the review body shall give due consideration to valid solar access needs together with any specific solar access policies that may hereafter be adopted. (Ord. 1496 §24, 2016; Ord. 1269 §16, 2006).
