Draft code would require conditional-use permits for future wind/solar expansions; existing projects preserved

Austin Parker read the draft code language specifying that existing nonconforming and approved projects would not be altered by adopting the new code, but that any future expansion of existing wind projects would require a conditional use permit. "There is an existing wind farm development project approved... nothing related to the defined scope of the wind project is in any way affected by this code. However, any future expansion of this wind project shall require a conditional use permit," Parker said.
