Upcoming
Plan Commission / Zoning Board of Appeals
The Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals will continue public hearings on the Plano Skies Energy Center, a large-scale solar farm project. They are considering rezoning numerous parcels from residential and business districts to agricultural, annexing land into the city, and granting a special use permit for the solar farm. Also up for discussion are variations to allow partial screening berms, partial landscaping, and deferred financial surety for decommissioning.
- Rezoning of parcels along Miller Road and Rock Creek Road from R-5, B-5, and R-8 PUD to A-1 Agricultural for solar farm
- Annexation of over 1,000 acres from 10 parcels into Plano, including properties on Sears Road, Galena Road, and Rock Creek Road
- Special use permit for a ground-mounted solar farm energy system on approximately 1,500 acres
- Variation to install screening berms only in select portions of the property perimeter instead of the entire perimeter
- Variation to allow filing of decommissioning financial surety at building permit application rather than before special use permit issuance
