SECTION IV. URGENCY DECLARATION. This ordinance is for the imme-
diate preservation-oT-tfie pu6Tic peace, health, and safety within
the meaning of Government Code Section 25123 and Elections Code
Section. 3751 , because the board has enacted a moratorium on the
approval of use permits for wind energy conversion systems until
an ordinance establishing specific standards for wind energy eon-
version land uses can be reviewed by the County ' s planning com-
missions and adopted by the board. Pending use permits
applications for, such conversion systems are located in the terri-
tory of the County planning commission.
i
The adoption' of these regulations will allow the prompt review
of the proposed .standards ordinance by the County planning com-
mission and its board adoption without delays necessary for other
County planning agency division review. For this reason, the
moratorium will be terminated earlier and the establishment of
wind energy conversion systems allowed for the continued preser-
vation of the public 's peace, health and safety.
SECTION V. SEVERABILITY. This Board declares that , if the
urgency nature o this ordinance is invalidated, it intends
SECTIONS II and 'III to remain valid and effective and that it
would have passed SECTIONS II and III even without the urgency
provisions . Therefore, the Board directs that this ordinance be
treated and published , effective and operative, as both an urgency
and a non-urgency ordinance as provided in SECTION VI .
SECTION VI . EFFECTIVE AND OPERATIVE DATES . As an urgency ordi-
nance,nance, this ordinance becomes effective and operative immediately
on introduction and passage. If a court holds it to be a non-
urgency ordinance, it becomes effective 30 days after passage (on
second reading) , and within 15 days of passage shall be published
once with the names of supervisors voting for and against it in
the Contra Costa Times a newspaper published in this
County.----------------------
