Planning staff schedules December hearing on battery energy storage ordinance
Summary
Staff reported the zoning subcommittee reviewed a proposed battery energy storage ordinance and scheduled a public hearing for December 16; commissioners were asked to review the draft and consider emergency-response training.
Staff told the commission that the zoning subcommittee had reviewed a proposed ordinance for battery energy storage facilities and that a public hearing is scheduled for December 16. The draft was described as applicant-proposed and drawn from ordinances in other localities, and commissioners were asked to review it online when staff posts the materials.
Commissioners noted the proposed ordinance shares features with the solar ordinance, will be processed as a conditional use in certain zones, and that county staff will seek additional input from fire and emergency services on training requirements for first responders. Staff said the draft ordinance would be posted online and in the paper ahead of the advertised hearing.
