Zamora <br />t wta_ I <br />Community Development Director <br />SUBJECT: First Reading of an Ordinance Adopting New Chapter 18.45 Relating to Wind <br />Powered Generators and Windmills <br />DATE: June 17, 1999 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Council directed Staff to prepare an ordinance that would adequately respond to their concerns, <br />including the protection of our City's residential areas and land uses, from the potential adverse <br />impacts which wind powered generators and similar structures that generate power from harnessing <br />the wind may have. <br />The proposed ordinance has been carefully reviewed by our legal counsel and is now before Council <br />for review and adoption. <br />DISCUSSIONIANALYSIS: <br />The goal of this proposed ordinance is not only to seek a more efficient method to review and <br />process these types of applications, but to also and most importantly inform and protect our City's <br />residents from the potential adverse impacts which wind powered generators and similar structures <br />that generate power from harnessing the wind may have. <br />ALTERNATIVES: <br />The Council may choose not to adopt the proposed ordinance. Staff would then review all future <br />applications to construct wind powered generators under the Conditional Use Permit process, which <br />is more ambiguous and less efficient. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />None. <br />k C . 0. <br />DAVID R.
