Planning Commission to go over wind farm regulations Thursday

Posted Nov 17, 2021 12:03 PM

SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Planning Commission will start once again with regulations on commercial wind farms when it meets Thursday.

Three different cases will be heard. The first deals with height and bulk regulations for wind farms, the second will deal with amending the zoning jurisdiction and establishing non-zoned areas of the county as available for potential wind projects.

The third will deal with amendments to the comprehensive plan that deals with land use related to wind energy. A moratorium on wind development is in place until the public hearings at the planning level can be held.

The commission will take public comment on all three cases. Thursday's meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. at the Public Works facility at 600 Scott Blvd.
