Document Description
The Project is subject to an Addendum Environmental Impact Report (Addendum EIR) based on the previously certified 2023 Gibson Solar Farm Project EIR (SCH #2021100191) certified by the Board of Supervisors on October 10, 2023 (Resolution 23-153). The Addendum EIR was adopted by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors on March 24, 2026, to authorize an increase in height and number of the utility poles that were previously analyzed in the 2023 EIR. The impacts and mitigation requirements identified in the 2023 EIR will remain substantively unchanged by the proposed height increases. These increases are found to be consistent with the conclusions identified in the 2023 EIR.
Notice: This is to advise that on March 24, 2026, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors adopted the Addendum EIR for the above-described project, and has made the following determinations:
1. The project will NOT cause a new significant effect on the environment or substantially increase the severity of a previously identified significant environmental effect.
2. An Addendum Environmental Impact Report WAS prepared for this project pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and adopted by the County.
3. Mitigation measures WERE NOT required for the approval of the project.
4. A statement of overriding considerations WAS NOT adopted for the project.
This is to certify that the Addendum EIR including, and the record of project approval, are available to the general public at the Yolo County Community Services Department at 292 W. Beamer Street, Woodland, CA 95695, (530) 666-8803, Tracy.Gonzalez@yolocounty.gov.
