Board adopts BESS ordinance edits to align with state regulations
Summary
The board voted unanimously to amend city zoning to move and revise Battery Energy Storage Systems rules to comply with new state requirements.
The Community Development Board voted on July 7 to amend City Code Chapter 23 to remove and amend existing local Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) regulations in Section 4.331 and to incorporate them into Article 23-7 Section 7.857 to achieve compliance with new state regulations.
Kevin Rayner reviewed the changes made to date and said the amendments bring the city's rules into alignment with the state's new requirements. Libby Herland made a motion to approve the amendment; it was seconded by Katie Soules and the board approved the change unanimously.
Rayner indicated these edits are intended to ensure local regulations conform with state law; no fiscal impacts or implementation schedule was given at the meeting.
