Plan Commission recommends updated solar energy regulations
Summary
The Plan Commission recommended approval of amended regulations for solar energy systems (Chapter 17.42.070). Staff said a revised draft was distributed at the meeting; the motion passed unanimously.
The City of Columbia Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of amendments to Chapter 17.42.070 of the Zoning Code, which governs additional regulations for solar energy systems. Commissioner Mike Macik moved the recommendation and Commissioner Abby Wiese seconded; the roll call vote was recorded as unanimous.
Land Use & Planning Coordinator John Brancaglione presented the staff report and noted that "the draft regulations were amended after the packet was sent and the revised draft regulations were distributed prior to the meeting." Members discussed the revised text and then voted to recommend the amendment as submitted. The roll call vote listed each present commissioner voting yes (Ingold, Kutterer‑Sanchez, Murphy, Trowbridge, Wiese, Macik) and the minutes record the motion as carried 6‑0.
The minutes do not include the full revised text in this transcript excerpt; the entry in the record states the commission recommended approval as submitted.
