The first application submitted under the county’s new regulations for solar energy projects may be just one step away from winning final approval from the Douglas County Commission. On Monday, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of a conditional use permit application for the “Stull Solar Farm,” a small-scale solar project located on about 12.6 acres of a 117-acre parcel south of Lecompton. With that vote, the Planning Commission is sending the application to the County Commission and recommending that the county commissioners sign off on it. The County Commission is responsible for making the final decision on conditional use permits, and the project should appear on its meeting agenda in the coming weeks.
