What is compatible? Clearly some on HPRB thought the proposal was compatible, while others agreed with staff that it wasn't. The problem, as you note, is the law, which leaves too much subjectivity and interpretation.

An alternative is that the Mayor, through the Sustainable DC effort, could simply direct the DC Office of Planning and HPO to create guidelines that will allow for homeowners to use solar panels in a way that maximizes production while minimizing impact on historic resources. If what the Architectural Review Committee of the CPHS reports is accurate, then these property owners ought to have been able to move forward with their proposal. It was very respectful of the historic house.
