Commission approves concept plan for county solar array at Dixon Lane with setback reduction
The commission voted to approve a concept site plan for an 8.44‑acre ground‑mounted solar array on a county‑owned 38.5‑acre parcel (S230014). Staff said the array's energy will offset county facility loads; the developer sought a reduction of setbacks from 200 to 100 feet in exchange for supplemental landscaping. The commission approved the concept and delegated final signatory authority to the chair, 5–0 with one abstention.
