Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting

The Board of Supervisors approved amendments for utility-scale solar projects, setting a 16,000-acre cap and requiring land use permits for solar on steep slopes or reduced battery storage setbacks. They also adopted an interim urgency ordinance and directed staff to develop permanent regulations for firearms retailers, including buffer zones near sensitive areas. Additionally, the board received the county's fourth-quarter budget report, which showed an $11.9 million general fund surplus.
