A special use permit application proposing the development of a solar facility south of Redman <br /> Road. <br /> What I would first of all like to do this evening is reiterate to the Board what you have <br /> before you. The applicant, in this case Strata Solar, has provided you a copy of affidavits that <br /> they will be reviewing and entering into evidence this evening, outlining their presentation. As <br /> also has been explained, you have three colored pieces before you. The first, a green item, is <br /> an email correspondence submitted by the Chair, Chair Jacobs. This email specifically <br /> documents the Efland Home for Girls, provides some background information on this particular <br /> parcel property. There is a blue piece of paper. This is email correspondence between County <br /> planning staff and Strata Solar to an adjacent property owner. Last but certainly not least is a <br /> cream yellow piece of paper that's been issued by another adjacent property owner, specifically <br /> Redman Rhino, LLC, offering their support for the project. <br /> The first thing I would like to do before I begin with the presentation is ask that Board <br /> recognize that the abstract, which we have before you this evening, which includes: Attachment <br /> 1, an application packet; Attachment 2, a property vicinity map; Attachment 3, staff comments <br /> concerning this project; and Attachment 4, the notification materials and certification for the <br /> mailing, be entered into the record. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin arrived at 7:08 pm. <br /> Chair Jacobs: So do you need a motion to that effect? <br /> Michael Harvey: I just need an acknowledgement. <br /> Chair Jacobs: We acknowledge that it has been entered into the record. Thank you. <br /> Michael Harvey: Thank you very much. Without further ado, I know we have a long meeting <br /> ahead of us. I'll be as quick as I can. <br /> Michael Harvey reviewed the following PowerPoint slides: <br /> FEBRUARY 24, 2014 <br /> AGENDA ITEM: C-1 <br /> QUARTERLY PUBLIC HEARING <br /> CLASS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT <br /> DEVELOPMENT OF A <br /> SOLAR ARRAY - PUBLIC UTILITY <br /> PROPERTY INFORMATION <br /> • PIN(s): 9844-06-5971 and 9844-17-2687. <br /> • Size: 52 acres. <br /> • Zoning: Rural Residential (R-1), Upper Eno Protected Watershed Protection overlay, <br /> and Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District. <br /> • Future Land Use Map Designation: Commercial Industrial Transition Activity Node <br /> (CITAN). <br /> • Growth Management System Designation: Urban. <br /> SURROUNDING USES: Map <br /> REQUEST: <br /> • Erect individual solar array panels on both properties (52 acres). <br />
