Title
Sybac Solar, LLC Issue (B)
Explanation
A few weeks ago Staff was approached by Sybac Solar, LLC on a proposal to acquire property at the City's Airport Industrial Park for the purposes of developing a solar field array encompassing approximately 6 acres (similar to others in the community) proximate to Florida Food Service.
Commissioner Todd Chase brought this item forward during the August 16, 2012 City Commission Meeting at which time this item was referred to the Economic Development University Community Committee.
The proposal raises some issues regarding the highest and best use of AIP property in light of other community economic development considerations.
This special meeting is held by the Economic Development University Community Committee to further discuss this matter as this proposal is on an accelerated timeline based upon compliance with Gainesville Regional Utilities Solar Feed in Tariff deadlines.
Recommendation
The Economic Development University Community Committee hear a presentation from Staff, and direct Staff to take appropriate action.
