Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

10. Landscape Waiver. The Environmental Resources Director may waive the
landscaping requirements of the Land Development Code to the extent
necessary to ensure optimal solar access.
11. Any approval of a solar energy system does not create any actual or inferred
solar energy system easement against adjacent property and/ or structures. The
owner and/or property owner of a solar energy system shall not infer or claim
any rights to protective writs to any caused shadows or operating ineffective-
ness against future development adjacent to or higher than the property
