The very sad part of this issue with zoning in CV is that when the original zoning committee met and drafted the new law,  information such as this was never even considered. It simply was not even allowed. 

 In fear of Art. 10 and the State they did everything exactly according to what the State dictated, and rushed the process to boot.  That is why there are major problems in our zoning law and the execution of it was so badly screwed up on  solar issue.

The logic that boggles my mind, is why draft a law to appease the State forces that  are the same ones that have taken your rights away to determine your future.  You can't oppose the forces stealing your rights and tearing your community apart by doing everything according to their script.  How the hell does that protect a community?

For heavens sakes look a round you CV.  Art. 10 has been in existence 2011.  Our appeasement zoning law has been around since about mid  2012.  Has all this made us better off?   NO!

 BP is even DONE with us and we still can't free ourselves from the industrial wind disaster because of our appeasement of Art. 10 that holds us hostage since our community leaders refuse to do anything about it!

Art. 10 still has a strangle hold on our community.  And if we are lucky enough to see BP walk and no other developer comes in...it will be because BP and other wind developers made that choice...it will still have nothing to do with us.

BP will walk away and we  will still live in fear under the sword of Art. 10 with no home rule on the issue to protect our community.

You might want to take a carefully look at the first link above and see how many communities have decided to take a stand with CELDF against the very thing that BP and the State has forced on us and our leaders are still appeasing and enabling and refuse to do anything substantial about.
