What Mayfield’s proposed solar ordinance changes would require: setbacks, decommissioning and studies

The draft amendments the council voted to initiate would make large-scale solar a conditional use in R/C (TD1) zones, raise setbacks to 150 feet, require decommissioning security equal to 150% of removal costs with periodic engineering estimates, cap daytime sound at 55 dBa, require glare studies that include all potentially affected areas, and mandate compliance with Pa. Code water quality rules and a Knox box.
