FastSun 4, LLC. Solar Farm IUP <br />Page 6 <br />decommissioning cost estimate and shall post financial security in a form acceptable by the city. <br />The City is requiring the owner operator to submit this required information as well as a cash <br />escrow prior to the issuance of a building permit. The applicant's decommissioning plan meets <br />City requirements outlined in the code, including the removal of all equipment and structures <br />within 90 days after the system has been inoperative for 12 months as well as the restoration of the <br />site. The decommissioning plan requirements will be noted in the applicant's IUP. <br />7. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL OF A SOLAR FARM INTERIM USE PERMIT: <br />An application for a home occupation interim use permit may only be granted upon a finding that <br />all the following criteria have been met: <br />(a) The applicant owns the property or has secured a proper lease agreement on the property, <br />unless the city council determines that unique conditions or circumstances warrant special <br />arrangement. <br />The applicant has a lease agreement with the property owner of the property in question. <br />(b) The proposed solar farm is allowed as a principle use in the respective zoning district and <br />conforms to this chapter. <br />The proposed solar farm is an allowed permitted use within the Future Urban Service (FUS) zoning <br />district. <br />(c) The proposed solar farm is keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter. <br />The spirit and intent of the ordinance is to allow for the generation of renewable energy within the <br />City of Hugo. Promoting the safe, effective, and efficient use of solar energy, may reduce the <br />onsite consumption of fossil fuels and utility -supplied electric energy while avoiding adverse <br />impacts on the community at large. The applicant's proposed solar farm meets the purpose, <br />permitted uses, and performance standards outlined in the City code. <br />It's in staff's opinion that the request for an IUP for a solar farm meets the spirit and intent of the <br />ordinance. <br />(d) The construction of a solar farm shall not impede the city's ability to implement its <br />comprehensive plan. <br />The intent of the FUS zoning district is to promote the preservation of large parcels that are eligible <br />for city services/utilities. In this particular area, it is unlikely that city services will be extended in <br />the near future. At the time of development, it is likely that this property will be developed along <br />with the surrounding area and the City's Comprehensive Plan will be evaluated with the request <br />at that time. <br />(e) The proposed solar farm is compatible with the present character of the surrounding area. <br />C1 <br />
