The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors will consider and vote on an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to add a new Section 608 covering utility-scale solar facility requirements, standards, and procedures. This meeting will be held on Wednesday September 4 at 9:00 am at 1015 Fair Street in Prescott.
Northern Arizona is well-suited to generate a significant amount of the energy we need from both individual rooftop installations like the one on the Keep Sedona Beautiful EcoHub and by well-considered utility-scale installations.
Without clear direction and guidance, utility-scale solar development will lag in Yavapai County. This proposed amendment provides that guidance while establishing a process to protect the environment. You can read the proposed Yavapai County ordinance language HERE.
For reference, you can read the current Coconino County ordinance language HERE. The text of this document is exactly what was incorporated into Coconino County code.
Keep Sedona Beautiful urges you to support this proposed amendment that will expedite the addition of utility-scale solar facilities in Yavapai County. You can register your support via this Yavapai County survey, or by using the following QR code.
