From the meeting
The packet contained a draft ordinance adding Battery Energy Storage Systems standards to the UDO. It covers permits, setbacks, screening, safety certification, decommissioning, and financial assurance, but it is a policy framework rather than a specific project award. The city also reported meetings with developers and legal review, so this is a live pre-development signal for energy storage sites.
