Summary
County staff told commissioners that Fennywood Solar has submitted a special‑exception application for a solar array covering a 997‑acre site (about 497 acres to be used) in District 7; the item was described as scheduled for December review.
County planning staff informed the commission that Fennywood Solar has submitted a special‑exception application for a large solar project near the county line.
Staff said the parcel totals about 997 acres, of which the developer plans to use roughly 497 acres for solar infrastructure; the project will appear before the commission in December and is in Election District 7. Staff said the applicant submitted the special‑exception application late for an earlier meeting and that details and review materials are forthcoming.
What to expect: commission and staff will review the special‑exception application in December; standard review items include site plans, interconnection and county permitting, and coordination with adjacent jurisdictions because the original larger site spans the county line.
