Seconded by Tony Blake. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> AGEN�A ITE�7: Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendments - To make a recommendation <br /> to the BOCC on government-initiated amendments to four sections of the text of the UDO in <br /> order to adequately address development of solar arrays within the county. This item was <br /> heard at the August 27,2012 quarterly public. <br /> Presenter: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor <br /> Michael Harvey: Reviewed abstract. <br /> Larry Wright: On page 43, some houses vary in very rural areas and are so far back. Could this be read like the <br /> large facility ones or like C2(g)? You would have a buffer there. There may be a lot of those situations in the rural <br /> area that would be analogous to that. <br /> Michael Harvey: I understand your concern but I would point out on page 12 and 13 of the abstract we explain this is <br /> all part of an existing limitation denoted within the UDO limiting the placement of accessory structures on a given <br /> parcel. Our only point here is that if we want to allow solar arrays in the front yard area of the property then we will <br /> need to amend this section to except or eliminate solar rays from this existing prohibition. <br /> Alan Campbell: You are saying that if we say this it will preempt at least as to solar rays that are in the provision. <br /> 1 <br />
