Staff reports multiple solar projects near completion; DEQ review ongoing
Summary
Planning staff told the commission that several solar projects (Cox Family, Cumberland Solar, Boston Hills, Plank Road, Hecate) are in final stages or awaiting DEQ/state permits; two earlier conditional use permits have moved to final stabilization.
Planning staff reported there have been no substantive changes to pending code amendments and provided a spreadsheet of approved solar projects. Two previously approved conditional use permits (identified by staff as 21-02 and 21-03 for named projects) have completed structure installation and are working on final stabilization.
Miss Johnson listed several projects in review, including Cox Family Solar (Cartersville), Cumberland Solar, Boston Hills Solar, Plank Road and Hecate projects, and said the county is awaiting final site plans and state permits from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). "All of those projects are still in a status of review with DEQ and getting their state permits," she said.
Staff did not provide new dates for final approvals but indicated the projects remain in active review and that the county will post application packets and related documents to the project web page as they become available.
