Board holds work session on Rosebud Energy Project; Nissan land proposed for solar/BESS

At a Sept. 2 work session the Board reviewed a Major Comprehensive Plan Amendment request for the Rosebud Energy Project (PZ-PA-012-26), which seeks to redesignate approximately 512 acres from Employment to Green Energy Production to enable a utility-scale photovoltaic project and battery storage.

Jordan Rose of Rose Law Group presented the request on behalf of the landowner, Nissan North America Inc. The parcel is described in the agenda as a portion of assessor parcel number 50218-006D, generally located along N. White and Parker Road, north of Teel Road and south of the Ak Chin Indian Community. The item was informational only and no action or vote was taken by the Board at this meeting.

The work session allows staff and the board to hear the proposed land-use change and to consider requirements and potential impacts; the agenda lists the item under Supervisor District 3.
