Ada County’s recommended ordinance:
-
Effectively prohibits solar across ALL Ada County
-
Requires BOTH an unclear 'recommendation' from Planning and Zoning AND
a lot-coverage variance by County Commissioners -
Fails to establish a clear permitting process for solar
-
Fails to assign responsibility of defining solar rules to Planning and Zoning
​
Tell your commissioners to support sensible solar regulations that:
-
Support private property rights
-
Diversify Idaho’s energy mix including solar
-
Protect allowable conditional uses for solar
-
Recognize solar is farming friendly when done right
​
Landowners should have the freedom to responsibly use and protect their land the way they believe is best. It’s their property and their rights!
