Solar Parking Canopy Provisions for Non-Residential Developments

Overview

Work with staff and the County Attorney to research, review, and evaluate the provisions of the recently-passed-and-signed HB-1234/SB-26 which has authorized localities the ability to establish solar parking canopy provisions for non-residential developments by ordinance. This work should include, but not be limited to, any recommendations regarding appropriate land use policies and regulations for Board consideration. In addition, such work should draw upon other policies and documents already adopted by the Board, including the Environmental Chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, and the Community Energy and Sustainability Master Plan. Such research and recommendations should, where applicable, include proposed timelines, potential fiscal impacts, and other pertinent information for Board consideration. The County Attorney's Office is directed to review the information and recommendations for any legal issues. When the research and work is complete, the County Executive should report back to the Board with the research and recommendations during a Board meeting or by memorandum, as appropriate.
