This is where we will keep track of our process for the development of the PowerButte Utility Scale Solar Guide. Note that some information refers to the Solar Overlay Zone. Based upon public comment and direction from the Board of Supervisors on December 6, 2016, this approach was changed to the Utility Scale Solar Guide project currently under consideration. The culmination of this process is reflected in the Draft Butte Utility Scale Solar Guide, reviewed by the Planning Commission on August 10, 2017, and approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 26, 2017.
