SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Planning Commission spent another two hours on Thursday hashing out further edits to the proposed commercial solar regulations in the county after hearing public input on Nov. 9.
The final version of the new section is not yet ready as there were still a couple of issues the planning commission wanted to do more research on, so the Planning Commission recessed the case until their next regular meeting, which will be Thursday, Dec. 21 at 4:30 p.m. at 600 Scott Boulevard in South Hutchinson.
Currently, there is a moratorium on commercial solar development in the county in effect through December that was put into place earlier this year by the Board of County Commissioners.
If a final draft were able to be reached and approved at the Dec. 21 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners could theoretically take it up at their meeting on Dec. 27 without having to extend the moratorium.
