A Planning Commission Hearing has been re-scheduled for May 24 "Regarding San Bernardino County Renewable Energy and Conservation Element Policy 4.10 and Draft Alternative Policy Language." THIS MEETING WILL ALSO BE VIDEOCONFERENCED AT THE JOSHUA TREE GOVERNMENT CENTER, 63665 Twentynine Palms Highway, Joshua Tree.

The official notice of this hearing from the Land Use Services Department details the history of the policy development and the details of the specific 4.10 language at issue.  MBCA believes the original 4.10 language - not the revision submitted by Land Use Services - best preserves the right of desert communities to be free of the health-affecting dust and natural ecosystem degradation that would come with more renewable energy developments in desert communities.
