Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance establishing a six-month moratorium on reviewing, processing and permitting community solar facilities on county property zoned for agriculture. Commissioners were presented with the three-page ordinance on Thursday, which they had asked staff to draft following a Jan. 20 meeting.
