Summary
Luxe Solar Center LLC asked for and received a continuance to allow NDOT traffic review and updated materials for a major variance and conditional use permit to expand an existing solar facility; the commission approved a continuance up to 60 days.
The commission granted a continuance for the Luxe Solar Center LLC expansion requests after the applicant requested additional time to complete an NDOT traffic report and related materials. Senior planner Lisa Nash said the applications include a major variance to reduce setbacks for an expansion and a conditional-use permit to add roughly 200–280 acres of photovoltaic solar panels to an existing project in Mason Valley (applications referenced as PLZ 2025-096 and PLZ 2025-085; APN references were corrected on the record).
Nash told the commission the applicant wanted to return with a complete traffic report from NDOT and that staff recommended a continuance of up to 60 days to allow all required materials to be submitted. Commissioners confirmed that the variance application is separate but related to the CUP. A motion to continue the items was moved and seconded; the commission approved the continuance by voice vote.
Staff and commissioners noted the need for complete NDOT materials and clarified that additional ADR and permit steps will follow once the application is resubmitted.
