The Planning Commission identified the City’s solar farm performance standard as an item to review in 2023. Under the moratorium, applicants cannot apply for any solar farm project for six months, giving City Staff along with the Planning Commission and City Council to review the performance standard without pending applications creating interference. Staff is requesting to conduct a joint workshop with the Planning Commission, City Council, and outside stakeholders on March 23rd, 2023 in place of a regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting.

The date of the joint workshop on solar farms is set for Thursday, March 23rd, 2023 but the time is yet to be determined. Old Business None.
