Renewable Energy Ordinance and Development Standards
SB Energy wants to build up to 330 megawatts of solar on about 20,700 acres crossed by Highway 377, with a six-mile power line to the Cygnus switchyard. Rancher Andrew Crandall, who leases the land, spoke about losing a five-generation family ranch, while neighbors raised runoff, glare, highway safety, herbicide and cumulative-impact questions. No vote yet — it comes back for possible action at a future meeting.
Proposed Paper Mill Wind Energy Project
BluEarth skipped its planned final presentation after supervisors raised concerns about siting near national forest land and residential areas. The company will keep working with staff to align the project with the county's comprehensive plan, and any revised plans will be posted publicly first.
