The City Council of the City of Chula Vista specifically and expressly finds and declares that adding section 15.24.065 to Chapter 15.24 is necessary due to local climatic conditions. As a result of high summer ambient temperatures and periods of heat waves, average load demand and peak load demand of energy used in Chula Vista is an important factor concerning public safety and adverse. economic impacts of power outages or power reductions. Facilitating the installation of Photovoltaic systems will have local and regional benefits in the reduction of total and peak energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. SECTION III. EFFECTIVE DATE.
