Commission to seek attorney review, hold public hearing on revised solar ordinance

Commissioners agreed the draft solar ordinance requires county attorney review and additional drafting to correct table numbering, change level designations and clarify whether the draft applies to a "person" or "entity". Members discussed holding the public hearing in the evening to allow broader public participation and asked staff to circulate the revised draft in advance.

Chair Gary Arrington said the commission will place the item on the Oct. 14 agenda after attorney review. Commissioners also noted earlier discussions on buffers, setbacks and spacing and requested those be reworked with clearer language before the hearing.
