Case SummaryIn 2019, the Pulaski County Board of Commissioners approved and adopted a Unified Development Ordinance that provides a regulatory scheme for the construction and operation of solar energy systems in the county. One year later, Mammoth Solar submitted an application seeking approval to construct a solar energy farm on 4511 acres of farmland in Pulaski County. Following a public hearing, the Pulaski County Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved the application. Petitioners, who either own property within 660 feet of the proposed solar farm, reside with one mile of the proposed solar farm, or have homes that will be bordered by the solar farm’s panels, filed a petition for judicial review asking the trial court to enter an order reversing the Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision and denying Mammoth Solar’s application. The trial court concluded that Mammoth Solar’s application had failed to comply with the minimum requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance, that the Board of Zoning Appeals should not have considered or acted on Mammoth Solar’s incomplete application, and that the Board of Zoning Appeals’ actions were arbitrary and capricious, not in accordance with the law, and without observance of procedure required by law. The trial court vacated all actions taken on Mammoth Solar’s application and remanded the matter to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mammoth Solar appeals.
