(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission will consider a zoning change request to allow for the location of a solar farm in rural Troy.
According to the unofficial minutes from their January 29th meeting, the Commission has set a hearing on the request for Monday morning, February 5th at 9:30 in the Commission meeting room.
Doniphan Electric is requesting a conditional use permit for the location of a solar farm on a four-acre tract at 1438 180th Road.
County Zoning Administrator Julie Meng said the Doniphan County Regional Planning Commission voted January 17th to recommend that the application be denied due to their being no regulations in place for solar farms. However, she said the county commission could grant the permit and set the conditional use terms.
Doniphan Electric has withdrawn its zoning application for a second solar farm to be located at 1810 190th Road in rural Wathena after the Planning Commission voted to recommend the conditional use be denied because of the location being too close to residential homes.
