Morton County adopts land-use rules for solar energy generation facilities
Summary
The Morton County Commission unanimously adopted an amendment (Section 5-400) to the county Land Use Code establishing standards for Solar Energy Generation Facilities on Oct. 28, 2025.
The Morton County Commission on Oct. 28 adopted an amendment to the county Land Use Code establishing Section 5-400, which sets standards for Solar Energy Generation Facilities.
Commissioner Buckley moved to adopt the amendment and Commissioner Morrell seconded; the motion carried with all commissioners voting aye. The amendment was recorded at the meeting as a formal update to the county's land-use regulations to provide specific development standards for solar projects.
The adoption occurred in the same meeting that the commission referred a large-scale wind project back to Planning & Zoning, reflecting near-term county action on energy-related land-use policy. The adoption does not constitute site-specific approvals for any solar project; it provides the regulatory framework under which future solar proposals will be reviewed.
