Recommendation
– Wind energy regulated as an accessory use
– As are solar installations
– Understood to be permitted in all districts
– Standards/conditions express where/how
– Not listed in a use table – convention has been to list accessory uses in use tables only when they are exceptions
– Regulated similar to surrounding communities
– Code language allows for changes in technology
