Planners say no site plans received yet for county solar or battery-storage projects
Summary
Commissioners asked about a proposed solar project near the town of Surrey and a battery-storage facility; staff said they have received no formal applications or site plans and that construction has not started on the battery-storage project.
Commissioners sought updates on renewable-energy projects near the town of Surrey; staff said they had not received formal applications or site plans for the solar project that abuts the town, and that the county had not received a site plan or seen construction start on the proposed battery-storage facility.
"We have not received a site plan to date," Mr. Wade said when asked about the battery-storage project, and he added the developer had been informed the proposal did not meet several comprehensive-plan or ordinance criteria. Staff also flagged pending state solar-code changes that may require further local ordinance revisions.
