Introduction Pacific Northwest Solar, LLC (“PNW”) is an Oregon limited liability company that develops solar power generations projects. PNW makes the following site design review application for a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of a photovoltaic solar power generation facility in Yamhill County, Oregon, as set forth herein (the “Project”). PNW is developing the subject project on behalf of Butler Solar, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company wholly owned by PNW, and in coordination with the current landowner, Abbas Rahimi. The Project details are described herein in Sections 2 – 7. An evaluation of land use regulations and applications applicable to the Project are described herein in Sections 8 – 11. 2. Executive Summary The proposed Project site is located in Yamhill County, within the urban growth boundary of Sheridan, Oregon. The proposed Project site currently consists of approximately 72 acres of land that is currently used for agriculture. The proposed Project will involve the construction and operation of a photovoltaic solar power generation facility that is expected to produce as much as ten (10) megawatts alternating current (MWac) of renewable electric power. The Project will be interconnected with the Portland General Electric Company’s distribution system via connection to existing power lines located adjacent to the Project. The Project infrastructure will include solar arrays on steel racking, consisting of photovoltaic modules oriented toward the south (generally) and placed upon a fixed tilt racking system, inverters (to allow for transmission to the utility grid), connections to the existing power lines, as well as necessary access and safety features (including access roads, perimeter roads, and fencing). It is anticipated that the Project will be under construction in early 2018 to mid 2018 with construction being completion in fall 2018. The Project will be operated for a minimum of 35 years. When the Project has reached its operational end, the site will be returned to its pre- construction state. 3. Project Site Evaluation Project Location The Project site is located near the end NW Orchard St (tax parcel R5627 1000, 900, 2300, 2700, 1300, and 1200). The Project will utilize approximately 72 acres (as more fully outlined in the following General Project Location Map). 1 July 2017 Butler Solar – City of Sheridan, OR General Project Location Map Existing Land Uses (Project Site and in the Vicinity) The Project site is on a parcel that is currently utilized for agriculture, and is located inside the City of Sheridan urban growth boundary. The land use in the vicinity of the proposed Project includes unimproved land, agricultural lands (including water supply channels), very low density rural residential, and industrial. The following map is meant to demonstrate the existing Project site and nearby parcels. 2 July 2017 Butler Solar – City of Sheridan, OR Project Site Map (including adjacent uses) Proposed Land Use The proposed Project would be a photovoltaic solar power generation facility producing as much as ten (10) MWac of renewable electric power during daytime hours (see Exhibit 4 for Project Development Plan). The Project would utilize photovoltaic (PV) modules that absorb ambient sunlight and directly produce electricity without the use of heat transfer fluid, cooling water, or highly reflective materials. The Project is expected to operate at all times of the year, though the anticipated energy production will fluctuate based upon solar exposure to the PV modules. Once constructed, the Project will be interconnected to the Portland

  • 2016 Recognition Targets for Hospitals
    Patient Safety Reporting Program 2016 Recognition Targets for Hospitals March 2016 Recognition targets provide attainable goals for healthcare facilities participating in the Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP). Targets can also help facilities incrementally and effectively build adverse event review and reporting into their culture of safety. On a statewide level, targets ensure OPSC receives enough adverse event reports to build a strong database of prevention strategies so that all Oregon healthcare facilities can learn from one another. Targets are effective as of January 1, 2016. Although a participant may meet or exceed targets at any time throughout the year, the facility should continue to report adverse events according to reporting program guidelines. Healthcare facilities that meet targets are recognized annually for their transparency efforts and commitment to patient safety. For more information, visit oregonpatientsafety.org.

    Q3 2018 HOSPITAL UTILIZATION AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS November 19, 2018 4000 Kruse Way Place • Suite 100 • Lake Oswego, OR 97035 • Tel: (503) 479-6034 • www.apprisehealthinsights.com APPRISE HEALTH INSIGHTS IS A SUBSIDIARY OF THE OREGON ASSOCIATION OF HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS © 2018 Apprise Health Insights Q3 2018 HOSPITAL UTILIZATION AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS ABOUT THIS REPORT This report aims to provide a quarterly analysis of the utilization and financial data submitted by Oregon’s hospitals to the DATABANK program. DATABANK is a state-mandated monthly hospital data program administered by Apprise Health Insights in collaboration with the Office for Oregon Health Policy and Research (OHPR). Please note that all DATABANK data are self-reported by the hospital and represent a twelve-month calendar year. Accuracy is the responsibility of the reporting hospitals. Because this report’s objective is to provide a complex dive into the data, the graphs and methods may change between reports. This forces only the most compelling stories to be exhibited. The determination of which graphs and stories to focus on is evaluated by hospital finance and data experts at Apprise. Note: Kaiser Sunnyside and Kaiser Westside hospitals are excluded from this analysis due to the lack of financial data available in DATABANK. LAYOUT INFORMATION Aggregate vs Median This report uses two statistics to report statewide hospital data: median and aggregate. Aggregate numbers sum up the entire amount for all hospitals into one number, where median only takes the number from the middle of the pack. Aggregate is useful when looking at the industry as a whole, such as the percent of Medicaid charges or the total number of patients visiting Emergency Departments in the state.
