On a 5-2 vote Friday, the San Diego County Planning Commission recommended the county’s Board of Supervisors move forward on the construction of a solar project covering more than 600 acres, next to the desert town of Jacumba Hot Springs.
But the recommendation, which came after some spirited debate, calls for a slight reduction to the project’s footprint and increased buffer zones for what would be called the JVR Energy Park.
“This is a tough one,” Commission Chairman Michael Edwards said near the end of the meeting in which two members supported a motion to reject the project outright following public comment from more than a dozen Jacumba residents who want the size of the energy park cut by about half.
