Opposition groups are planning litigation.
The Alameda County Board of Supervisors held the 10-hour hearing on March 4, ultimately going forward with the controversial project presented by applicant Intersect Power. The solar development, proposed for agricultural land in North Livermore along Cayetano Creek, is set to cover 350 acres with solar panels and battery storage.
The hearing followed the Board of Zoning Adjustmentsâ (BZA) decision in November to recommend approval of the project. Three project opponents â Save North Livermore Valley (SNLV), Friends of Livermore, and Friends of Open Space and Vineyards â filed appeals. The fourth to appeal was applicant Intersect Power itself, taking issue with the BZAâs conditional-use permit (CUP) requirements. The supervisors denied all four appeals.
