City may block solar power fields

A prohibition on commercial solar field projects in the city and its sphere of influence areas was endorsed by the planning commission at its public hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 4.The resolution to amend the development code, which is on its way to the city council, also provides tough standards for commercial solar fields should the council decide to permit them."I'm in favor of solar on homes,Solar powered rechargeable LED lights are the most straightforward to fit and very handy.

"But as a community, commercial solar fields are incompatible with the city of Twentynine Palms. I do not agree with solar fields at all in our community, and I think we should tell them why."Easter said his reasons were that the commercial projects bring no direct benefits in lasting jobs, they contribute to loss of potential property tax revenue and they create visual impacts.
Chairman Carey Alderson reminded the commission that when they originally recommended their position against the projects to the council, the council insisted that written standards in a code be drafted for their review.Easter pointed to Section 4 in the draft resolution, prepared by Community Development Director Charles LaClaire, as the only section he supported in the code.Section 4 states that with "all due respect for the task" and to the city's efforts to promote consumer-based use of alternative energy, the commission concludes that the benefits to commercial solar projects "cannot be demonstrated.These solar chargers can be found in a variety of prices.It's also easy to obtain the normal iPhone car chargers which may be attached to the cigarette lighter port from the car to become attached to the power source supply.

The small audience at the meeting vigorously clapped their hands in support of Easter's stand.Vice Chairman Greg Mendoza and commissioners Pamela Carmichael and Richard Banneck stood with Easter on Section 4.Section 5 introduces the standards, with a statement of the commission's objections. The section assigns the projects to very small portions of the city and sphere, mainly to the southeast corner where industrial is allowed. It also restricts "the collective total" for projects to 300 acres at a time.During the public hearing, Jennifer Cusack, region manager of local public affairs for Southern California Edison, said that SCE considers each project individually. She also provided a map that divided Twentynine Palms into preferred "green" and non-preferred "red" areas due to available electrical load, capacity and distribution.
