County Code.]
Requirements:
1. [32.5.2(a)] Under the zoning information, list the existing SP, as this plan is subject to
the conditions of that SP from 2008. Provide the conditions on a notes page, or other
page.
2. [32.5.2 (b)] It is unclear if the parking near the energy plant is required parking for the

requirements are still being met for the uses on site.
3. [32.5.2 (b)] Include the maximum height and the square footage of the proposed energy
plant building.
4. [32.5.2(b)] Include the maximum amount of impervious cover on the site.
5. [32.5.2(d); 4.2] It appears that there are existing critical slopes in the areas that are
proposed to be demolished. Show the critical slopes and apply for a critical slopes
waiver for Board of Supervisors approval (this is also being requested to be provided
with SP2018-001). The justification will need to address the criteria 4.2.5.
6. [32.5.2 (p); 32.7.9.7] Screening of commercial uses from the rural areas is required. In
addition, screening of the biofilter and loading area is also required. Provide screening in
