and landowner, in support of the appeal and reversal of the conditional use currently granted to Wells Draw Energy LLC for the Wells Draw Solar Power Facility. This appeal concerns whether the Planning Commission's April 2nd, 2026 decision complies with Duchenne County Code and Utah's Land Use Development and Management Act. Under C, a land use decision must apply the governing ordinance correctly and must be supported by substantial evidence in the administrative record.

Decisions that rely on legal error, incomplete review, or unsupported findings are arbitrary, unpretentious, and do not stand.

The Wells Jaw Solar Facility was approved as a standalone conditional use permit in the A-5 Agricultural Zone. That approval is legally flawed because it rests on improper project segmentation. The applicant has expressly stated that this solar facility exists solely to supply electricity to the adjacent 9-megawatt data centers and has no independent utility or market. Utah law requires the land use authority to evaluate the proposal based on its actual operational realities, not on how it is, um, artificially divided. -Where facilities are functionally and operationally interdependent, they must be reviewed as an integrated land use.

By approving the solar facility in isolation, the Commission failed to evaluate the true nature and intensity of its use. This was not a minor informational omission. It
