Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project will result in implementation of a grid tied photo voltaic system to supply power to the Sutter Auburn Faith Community Hospital. The project will be constructed as solar carports within an existing improved parking area and will also include a 2.1-acre ground mounted PV module constructed in an adjacent field that is void of sensitive habitats or species. The system will be constructed in compliance with California Goverment Code section 65850.5, which prohibits local agencies from adopting ordinances or policies that have the effect of creating barriers to implementation of solar energy.
