HomeMy WebLinkAboutEmailed Comment from Elizabeth LambeIf the project kills birds, how many is acceptable, and what number might trigger additional
mitigation? The applicant can self-report, but beyond that, neither the applicant nor the
Planning Commission is required to take specific action to reduce bird deaths.Before (or if)
this project moves forward, we need answers to those questions and more.
“During the first year of operation, the applicant shall document and report to the City any bird
accidents or fatalities attributable to the solar facility. If accidents and facilities are recorded,
the report will be presented to the Planning Commission, which may reserve the right to
modify the MUP to add conditions related to bird impacts.”
