SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Planning Commission passed a recommendation on Monday night not to recommend a ban on commercial solar in the county.
In fact, if they are going to allow commercial solar, they would still need to write regulations for that, as that process was halted at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners earlier in the process.
Ultimately, if the Board of County Commissioners wants to do something other than approve the recommendation as sent to them by the planning commission, they would need to have four votes out of five to deny the recommendation and those same four votes to approve what they want to do instead, whatever it is, unless they want to send it back to planning again. Sending it back only takes three votes.
There is no word yet on when that recommendation will come before the Board of County Commissioners.
