Columbia Law School\u2019s Center for Climate Change Law (CCCL) has prepared a first draft of a model municipal wind siting ordinance<\/a> (PDF).\u00a0 The model ordinance presents a framework for the adoption, implementation and enforcement of standards to promote effective and efficient use of wind energy resources. \u00a0We began by analyzing existing wind siting ordinances from various New York municipalities, as well as those from other municipalities in other states, identifying their common features, and seeing what types of requirements have been widely adopted.<\/p>\n

The model ordinance regulates all new commercial wind energy facilities, as well as those facilities which begin operating or are modified after the effective date of the ordinance. \u00a0The ordinance includes provisions concerning permits, approvals, operation and oversight of wind energy facilities, and allows for flexibility in adoption within each municipality by including a number of optional \u201cadd-ons.\u201d \u00a0The draft is annotated with a legal commentary that clarifies areas of potential ambiguity and discusses the benefits and drawbacks of the optional add-ons.<\/p>\n

We are currently soliciting comments on this draft from lawyers, planners, architects, engineers, municipal officials, and others on how to improve it. \u00a0If there is sufficient interest, we may also convene one or more meetings or calls to discuss the model ordinance. \u00a0Comments should be sent to Danielle Sugarman at dsugar1@law.columbia.edu<\/a>. \u00a0 The municipal wind siting ordinance accompanies the Center\u2019s model green building ordinance, both of which can be found at https:\/\/www.law.columbia.edu\/centers\/climatechange\/resources\/municipal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
