Lee County Moves Forward on Housing, Solar, and Energy Storage Rules

DIXON — The Lee County Board approved several zoning and energy related actions during their meeting last week, including a plan to allow accessory dwelling units in agricultural and residential districts. The change is intended to expand housing options by allowing smaller secondary homes on existing properties. Officials also approved a financial surety bond for the Meadow Solar project at 150% of estimated decommissioning costs to ensure removal of equipment at the end of the project. A resolution was approved to place a moratorium on battery energy storage systems until state regulations are finalized.
