Zoning administrator flags inconsistent decommissioning language in county solar rules
Summary
Elizabeth Weikle told the committee that staff are updating the Solar Ordinance and that the decommissioning section currently requires companies to "submit three times back-to-back," language she said "makes no sense" and is being revised; staff are also updating the county's chicken ordinance.
The county's zoning staff told the Land Use Committee they are working on updates to the Solar Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance on chickens, and that the Solar Ordinance's decommissioning language is internally inconsistent. In Weikle's written report she said the decommissioning section "currently makes the companies submit three times back-to-back which makes no sense." Staff said they have charged the RPC with reviewing proposed ordinance changes but noted RPC quorum problems have delayed work.
Weikle also said she is working with Revere Rd and Madison St. Solar on a decommissioning plan the Board will consider at the May 21 meeting and that North Yards Solar met April 29 and may return to the Board. Santa Anna Solar has expressed interest but has not yet submitted documents for a siting hearing.
