County planning staff previews upcoming solar and data‑center ordinances
Summary
Staff said a revised solar ordinance will come to the commission in September, retaining limits on very large‑scale solar, and that the department expects to present a new data center ordinance by year‑end.
Planning staff told commissioners July 23 that the department will bring a revised solar ordinance in September that preserves existing limits on very large‑scale installations and offers more prescriptive rules for larger and commercial projects. Staff said the draft maintains some elements of the current ordinance, including the size limitation tied to previously adopted panel thresholds.
Staff also reported that the ordinance committee is working on a data center ordinance and that the commission can expect a proposed data center ordinance by the end of the year. No draft language or formal hearing schedule was provided at the meeting; staff characterized both items as forthcoming and subject to committee review before being presented to the full commission.
