From the meeting
On October 15, 2026 the board referred Ordinance 26-17 to the Planning Commission to redefine utility use, major and utility use, minor, and remove major utility use conditional-use exceptions in several zoning districts. The staff report says the change responds to recent state law and clarifies size thresholds, including 10,000 gallons per day for potable water and one megawatt for off-site generation. This is important for future solar, battery storage, water, wastewater, and other utility projects that may seek county approvals.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
