activity, the site plan review shall include review of the adequacy, location, arrangement, size,
design, and general site compatibility of proposed ground-mounted and freestanding solar
collectors. Where a site plan exists, an approved modified site plan shall be
required if any of the thresholds specified in § 270-191 of this chapter are met, including but
not limited to proposed changes to or additions of ground-mounted or freestanding solar
collectors where such changes or additions meet a § 270-191 threshold. Proposed changes to
or additions of rooftop or building-mounted solar collectors shall not be considered in the
determination of whether a site plan modification is required."

competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this local law,
which shall remain in full force and effect.
