(a)

To the extend not otherwise prohibited by Government Code Section 65850.5(b), a conditional use permit shall be required if the city's building official makes a finding, based upon substantial evidence, that the proposed solar energy system could have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety. A conditional use permit to install a solar energy system must and shall be denied if, based on substantial evidence, the city finds that the proposed installation would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the same.

(b)

The city may impose any condition within a conditional use permit which is designed to mitigate the specific, adverse impact upon health and safety at the lowest possible cost.
