Revised post March 23rd. Note additional information regarding meeting time.
EAST HILL ZONING CHANGE:
The Regional district of East
Kootenay has received an application for a utility scale solar energy facility
from Ross Priest, representing the owners of a 6600 acre property adjacent to
the Cranbrook Community Forest.
If approved, the amendment would
apply to the entire parcel. No details
are available since the applicants indicate they do not have a specific project
in mind.
The application appears to be in
conflict with the official Community Plan, which only supports industrial
development in the City of Cranbrook and Lumberton.
This item will be discussed at
the RDEK Advisory Planning Committee meeting on April 7th (meeting time to be posted Apr. 1 after 5PM on RDEK website - www.rdek.bc.ca)), at the RDEK
Board Room. You are able to attend as
an observer. You can also attend the
RDEK Board meeting on April 8th at 9 AM in the RDEK Board Room. If this application is to proceed the
Regional District of East Kootenay will hold a public meeting, which will be
advertised.
The item is also included in the City of Cranbrook Council meeting of today Monday March 21st.
