Board declines to add hydrogen transfer language; will hear future cases as exceptions
Summary
The planning board reviewed proposed definitions and options for hydrogen energy transfer systems but voted to retain current regulations and treat any future projects as special‑use cases or exceptions.
Staff told the board there is currently no county regulation addressing hydrogen energy transfer systems and that Kansas Geological Survey had identified local geology as a potential site for storage. Board members discussed options — adopt verbiage and create regulations, ban the activity, or leave the door open to hear applications as special uses.
"If we do nothing with this, someone could come in, we would hear it as a special use case," staff said. After discussion the board voted to leave hydrogen energy transfer language out of the model code and to hear any projects as special‑use or exception cases in the future. Staff said that approach preserves the county's ability to evaluate site‑specific applications when (and if) they occur.
