Solar Power Company Get Approval to Implement Its Development Plan on Rural Resi

dential Los Angeles County Land

This proposed project would operate year round with a production of up to 20 meg
awatts of renewable electric power during daytime hours, but the project needs t
o clear a few environmental, biological, and mitigation steps.
Los Angeles, CA, July 12, 2010 -- A rectangular shaped parcel of just over 200 a
cres at 100th Street West and Ave H has won preliminary approval for solar devel
opment by the City of Lancaster planning commission. TA High Desert LLC (Tuusso
Energy) plans to construct of a 20 megawatt solar photovoltaic electric generati
on facility on rural residential zoned land in Los Angeles County. This land has
been typically vacant land or farm land, but the green energy economy has chang
ed the future for rural Los Angeles land.
The location is designated NU (Non-Urban Residential) by the General Plan and is
zoned RR 2.5 (Rural Residential 2.5 one dwelling unit per 2.5 acres), which is
currently vacant land. This proposed project would operate year round with a pro
duction of up to 20 megawatts of renewable electric power during daytime hours.
Tuusso Energy has a 20 year agreement with Southern California Edison to supply
electricity generated by the proposed project. The project needs to clear a few
environmental, biological, and mitigation steps.
The environmental review documents have disclosed no significant adverse impacts
resulting from the proposed project after mitigation measures have been applied
.
The photovoltaic panels and trackers are silent and low profile of six feet to e
ight feet depending on the position of the sun, so visual impact would be minima
l. In order to further reduce any impacts, Tuusso Energy would install a line of
trees along Avenue I and H, 100th Street West, and 97th Street West that would
provide additional screening of the site. Additionally, two biological resources
surveys were conducted for the location which found approximately 160 acres of
potential foraging habitat within 10 miles of the hawkâ s nest, thus the removal of
the 200 acres of potential foraging habitat would be minimal. Also, mitigation
measures are required to ensure that impacts to biological resources remain less
than significant. Once these mitigation measures are taken the board found that
the potential impacts to any special status species would be reduced. They also
indicated that the projects construction and materials will not pose any enviro
nmental impact to the local community.
This project appears to have met all the necessary requirements for implementati
on, and it was done in under a year. The landscape of Antelope Valley has been r
apidly changing, and this exercise shows the potential for profits outside of ty
pically residential building can be found in the valley as the State moves to gr
een energy.
