Conditional Use Permit 10-23/Zone Change 10-03

Document Description: The proposed project consists of the construction and operation of a 1.5 megawatt photovolatic (PV) solar electric generating facility. The proposed project consists of rows of photovoltaic panels on single axis trackers with three inventers in the middle of the project site. These photovoltaic panels convert sunlight directly into electricity without the use of heat transfer fluid or cooling water. The project would tie into the transmission lines that run along 40th Street East. A chain-link fence would surround the project site and a 10 ft landscape area would be provided between the fence and property line to screen the development from the surrounding uses. Access to the project site would provided via a gate on 40th Street.
