"Solar Grazing:
(a) Solar grazing may accompany PSES in all zoning districts where agriculture is a permitted principal use. The applicant may submit a solar grazing plan as part of the application and for the Board's consideration as part of its conditional use application for the PSES.
(b) The solar grazing plan must indicate:
1) The type and amount of livestock to be utilized for solar grazing. The Township encourages the use of sheep for solar grazing;
2) The water source for the livestock. The applicant must provide a water well for the livestock if public water or reliable on-lot water (stream or pond) is not available;
3) The seed mix to be used for the grazing area. The Township requires a grazing-friendly seed mix to be used, Fuzz & Buzz seed mix or similar;
4) Whether portable low voltage energizers and fences will be utilized or low (three-foot) interior fences are to be installed to facilitate best grazing/vegetation management;
5) Whether fencing gates will be installed between adjoining solar parcels for moving solar grazing livestock and/or line up gates between separately fenced sections of the arrays; and
