§ 22.32.030. Development Standards.

A.

Bonding. Following permit approval and prior to any work on the proposed site, the applicant shall post a surety bond in favor of the County, conditioned on conformance with all applicable conditions, restrictions, and requirements of this Title and any conditions required by the permit. Such guarantee is in addition to any bond required by the state. The total value of this bond will be established through the Conditional Use Permit review and approval process, and will be administered in compliance with Section 22.64.040.

B.

Environmental quality assurance. An Environmental Quality Assurance Program covering all aspects of construction and operation shall be submitted prior to construction of any project component. This program will include a schedule and plan for monitoring and demonstrating compliance with all requirements of the Conditional Use Permit. Specific requirements of this Environmental Quality Assurance Program will be determined during the environmental review process and Conditional Use Permit review and approval process.

C.

Clearing and revegetation. The land area exposed and the vegetation removed during construction shall be the minimum necessary to install and operate the facility. Topsoil must be stripped and stored separately. Disturbed areas no longer required for operation will be regraded, covered with topsoil and replanted during the next appropriate season.

D.

Utility interconnect. All distribution lines, electrical substations, and other interconnection facilities shall be constructed to the specifications of the utility. A statement from the utility confirming that the proposed interconnection is acceptable shall be filed with the County building inspector prior to the issuance of any building permit. Interconnection shall conform to procedures and standards established by the California Public Utilities Commission.

E.

Other requirements. Development standards in addition to those specified in this Section and in this Chapter may be imposed through conditions of approval where Minor Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit approval is required.
