MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                                          Board of Supervisors

FROM:                     Rob Brown, 5th District Supervisor

DATE:                                          August 21, 2018

SUBJECT:                     Discussion and Consideration of Draft for Right to Geothermal Exploration and Development Ordinance

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

 

At my request, staff has drafted the attached Ordinance for our consideration which, if ultimately approved, is intended to reduce the loss to the County of our geothermal resources by limiting the circumstances under which land use conflicts with geothermal industry operations.  This Ordinance would also promote a good neighbor policy, requiring notification to owners, purchasers, residents and users of properties adjacent to industry operations of the inherent potential nuisance.
