Summary

The commission reviewed and accepted updates to the county's draft solar regulations May 18, approving specific textual edits (chart updates, phrasing changes and asterisk relabeling) unanimously.

The Kearney County Planning Commission reviewed revisions to draft solar regulations and voted May 18 to accept the changes as discussed.

Commissioners walked through page-specific edits proposed in the draft, including changing the wording on Page 1 (switching “with” to “of” the Little Blue River), updating the Page 6 chart to list Wildlife Management Areas and Wetlands as “Designated elsewhere” and adding N/A entries for other structures, and renaming an asterisk reference to “Small Wind Energy Conversion System.” The commission also removed language that would have allowed a 180-day extension for weather delays in two places of the draft.

After the line-by-line review, Kevin Raun moved and John Harris seconded to accept the solar regulation draft with the discussed edits; the motion passed unanimously.
