County staff planning public hearings on battery storage, wind and solar ordinances
Summary
Staff told board members they expect to schedule public hearings on a standalone battery storage ordinance and related wind and solar ordinances in the fall; board members discussed sequencing and timing.
Board planning staff said a standalone battery storage ordinance is with staff and that a public hearing is tentatively planned for October, with related wind and solar ordinance hearings possibly scheduled back-to-back in September or October. A board member asked whether language on decommissioning had been changed "from decommissioning to the landowner to the company" in the standalone battery storage draft; staff responded the ordinance "is with Andy right now" and that they anticipate a public hearing in October. Staff said they were discussing doing the wind ordinance and public hearings for solar and related items in the same general timeframe and that hearings could be scheduled consecutively to manage hearing time. No ordinance text was adopted at the meeting and no formal vote occurred; staff described timing and the intention to place the items on upcoming agendas for public hearings.
