Public commenters press commission to restore decommissioning language and fee clarity for solar projects
Summary
Two members of the public urged clearer decommissioning requirements and reminded commissioners that the Planning Commission previously considered a $5,000,000 fee-reimbursement threshold; staff said they would review and reconcile draft language.
During public comment, Carol Black urged clearer code requirements and standards so potential applicants and staff know what is expected and waste neither applicant nor staff time.
Julie Clarkson-Gulick flagged a deletion in draft language: earlier wording required decommissioning if a project was unused for 12 consecutive months; Clarkson-Gulick urged that such a provision be restored so projects are not abandoned. Staff said they would note the comments and check consistency with the decommissioning section as the ordinance draft is finalized.
