Resident raises questions about a proposed battery storage project and ordinance compliance
Summary
A resident told the APC they were concerned about a battery energy storage petition that had been filed and questioned whether the application complied with county overlay rules; staff confirmed an application is on file and said notice will be provided for the hearing date.
During public comment, a resident raised concerns that a pending battery energy storage petition might not comply with the county's energy-overlay ordinance and noted the county ordinance permits such systems only in certain areas and, in some cases, only when affiliated with a regulated utility. Staff said the applicant had filed a petition but missed the technical advisory committee meeting and that the APC will provide notice of the public hearing once scheduled.
Nick told the resident a published application exists and that staff will notify nearby property owners and publish the hearing date. The resident expressed concern about the applicant's affiliation and location; staff reiterated that compliance with the overlay and required permitting will be reviewed as part of the petition process.
