Natrona County Planning & Zoning Commissioners - November 10, 2026

The Natrona County Planning and Zoning Commission met on November 10, 2026. Commissioners unanimously recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve text amendment TA26-02, which would allow the minimum lot size to be reduced through the variance process when a natural or man-made obstacle materially affects a property and has split parcels, provided the change does not create a landlocked parcel. The exception would require review by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board; staff said the amendment is intended mainly to address existing parcels, not to change subdivision rules or zoning density. No public comments were offered, and no procurement or spending action was identified.

The commission also received an informational presentation on the proposed Casper Creek Solar agrivoltaics project, a private development described as being redesigned from about 100 MW on roughly 735 acres to about 70 MW on approximately 550 acres. The presenter said the project would combine solar generation with continued agricultural use and that construction could involve about 250 workers, with local hiring as a goal. No application had been submitted, and the presentation prompted no vote or formal action. The commission also approved the prior meeting minutes and discussed staff communications and the possibility of no December meeting if no cases are ready.
