Cal Seia has helped me in the past with rolling through the local
jurisdiction. Who does their city attorney answer to? The Mayor? You need to
help get his attention in another way.

Friends:

We are applying for a building permit in a small coastal community near here
for a PV system.  The arrays will be on the flat roof of a house that is
right up against the allowable building height.  The city is requiring that
we apply for a waiver to exceed the allowed height.  As I read California
law, it allows public agencies to rule on a permit application only in
regards to public safety and health issues.  Repeated letters to the city
attorney has failed to result in how a building height limitation is a mater
of public health and safety.

Have any of you successfully fought a building department on this issue?  If
so, is there any written documentation on the issue that I can use?

Thanks in advance,

William Miller
