Commission clears 130 kW agricultural solar installation under Kansas statute
Summary
A proposed 2,400 sq ft private solar installation producing 130 kW was deemed an agricultural operation and allowed to proceed under a Kansas statute exempting agricultural operations from county zoning limits, despite county limits on commercial solar above 100 kW.
Zoning Administrator Josh Falk reported an inquiry about installing solar panels for private use on an agricultural operation. Falk noted that Wabaunsee County zoning regulations limit commercial solar above 100 kW but that a Kansas statute exempts agricultural operations from zoning regulations.
Falk said the proposed site would be 2,400 square feet producing 130 kW. Commissioners agreed the application met the requirements of an agricultural operation and allowed the installation to proceed. The transcript does not include permit conditions, an applicant name, or an exact parcel number.
