Title

EIR MH 1-12; Kingbird Solar Photovoltaic Project by Kingbird Solar, LLC.

Description

Response to Comment The proposed project would construct and operate two 20 MW solar energy generating facilities that would produce a total of 40 MW of electricity from approximately 700,000 solar PV panels on 324 acres of land in unincorporated Kern County. The project would require approval of two Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) as well as a zone change to A (Exclusive Agriculture) in order to construct and operate the solar facilities within areas currently zoned as E (2 1/2) RS (Estate 2.5 acres, Residential Suburban Combining) zone districts. The project would also require an amendment to the Willow Springs Specific Plan to change the site land use from 5.6 (Residential/Min 2.5 Gross Acres per unit); 2.8 (Military Flight Operations) to 8.5 (Resource Management).
