<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The installation of solar panels on properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historic <br />Properties (“Register”) should be in conformance with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the <br />Treatment of Historic Properties (“Secretary of Interior Standards”). The following are design guidelines <br />for installing solar panels on residential properties that are listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historic <br />Properties. A listing of eligible Santa Ana properties may be found on the Cit y’s Historic Preservation <br />webpage http://www.ci.santa-ana.ca.us/pba/planning/HistoricPreservation.asp <br /> <br />SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION <br /> <br />Solar panels installed on a historic property in a location that cannot be seen from the public right-of-way <br />or primary elevation will generally meet the Secretary of Interior Standards. Conversely, an installation <br />that negatively impacts the historic character of a property will not meet the Stand ards. The following are <br />examples of locations that are least visible from the street: <br /> <br />a. Rooftops of detached garages or rear-facing roofs of primary residences have been identified as <br />the most appropriate locations for solar panels. <br /> <br />b. On flat roofs with parapet walls, solar panels installed on the full extent of the roof, provided that <br />the panels are not visible above the parapet walls. <br /> <br />c. On sloped roofs, solar panels installed on the rear 50 percent of the roof of the primary building. <br /> <br /> <br />Example # 1 – Craftsman Bungalow <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION <br /> ON HISTORIC PROPERTIES <br />Planning and Building Agency <br />Planning Division <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />P.O.
