Major solar energy systems are only permitted in R-R, I-1, I,
and L-C Districts, and only following:
A. Approval of a site plan by the Village Planning Board that meets the site plan standards set forth in §
173-5C below and in Article
XII of the Village Zoning code, and obtaining all other necessary approvals.
If the operator changes, the special use permit and/or site
plan approval shall remain in effect, provided that the successor
operator assumes, in writing, all of the obligations of the special
use permit, site plan approval, and decommissioning plan. The new
operator shall notify the Code Enforcement Officer of such change
within 30 days of the change. The new operator must provide such notification
to the Code Enforcement Officer in writing. The special use permit
and all other local approvals for the solar energy system shall become
void if a new operator fails to provide written notification to the
Code Enforcement Officer in the required time frame. Reinstatement
of a void special use permit will be subject to the same review and
approval processes for new applications under this chapter.
This chapter shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of
the Village Code, or all other local ordinances, laws, or resolutions
of the Village of Caledonia.
If any provision of this chapter is determined to be unconstitutional
or invalid, the validity and enforceability of the remainder shall
not be affected.
All ordinances, local laws and parts thereof inconsistent with
this chapter are hereby repealed.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon its adoption
and filing with the Secretary of State.
