Land Services: county moving toward renewable energy moratorium and working group; public hearing set

Morrison County Planning Commission · March 6, 2026

Summary

Land Services told the Planning Commission the County Board has directed staff to draft moratorium language on renewable energy standards; the commission will hold a public hearing March 31 and the County Board will consider the moratorium April 7, and a working group will be formed to review policy and ordinance language.

Amy (Land Services staff) updated commissioners that the County Board directed staff to prepare moratorium language related to renewable energy standards and that the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on March 31. If moved forward, the County Board will consider the moratorium on April 7.

Amy said the board also directed formation of a working group to review comprehensive plan policy and related ordinance language; the proposed makeup is two commissioners, two planning commission members, and up to two additional members (ideally one representing the renewable energy community and one citizen at large). Amy asked commissioners to consider whether they would be interested in serving on the working group.

Amy said the working group will meet during daytime hours and that appointments would likely be brought to the County Board for action on April 7.
