Effective: September 2, 2013

The textual amendments to the Land Use Bylaw create comprehensive regulations for micro-generation wind turbines in Industrial, some Commercial, and Special Purpose Land Use Districts. These amendments define Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) as Types 1 and 2, based on total height and blade diameter.  All WECS must be less than 100kW in generation capacity.  

These rules govern the style and appearance, height, size, location (setbacks), of urban-scale turbines in these areas.  It also outlines the requirements for an approved engineered design, and the undertaking of a Biophysical Impact Assessment.  These amendments do not change the opportunity for micro-generation wind turbines in residential Land Use Districts, which will continue to be evaluated as Power Generation Facilities - Small.  

The corresponding non-statutory Wind Energy Conversion System Policy was also created to provide additional guidance in the use of discretion by the Development Authority in the evaluation of applications for wind turbines.  This policy recognizes that site conditions of each application may create unique constraints and opportunities for wind turbines.
