2 <br /> • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes <br /> and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of <br /> environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no <br /> group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental <br /> consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or <br /> policies. <br /> Small scale solar installations represent infrastructure improvements that will assist residents in <br /> reducing their long term energy costs. Working with County residents to facilitate the <br /> development of small scale solar, in accordance with applicable land use regulations, helps to <br /> increase access to this technology and its benefits. Maintaining the separation of small scale <br /> solar from large scale solar in the permitting and review process helps to ensure that small scale <br /> solar projects are reviewed fairly in proportion to their possible impacts. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve and authorize the <br /> Chair to sign the attached resolution of support for small solar installations in Orange County. <br />
