(KMZA)--The Seneca Planning Commission is recommending that commercial/utility grade wind energy systems be prohibited within the zoning jurisdiction of the city of Seneca.
Seneca City Administrator Tami Haverkamp said the Planning Commission voted unanimously following a public hearing Thursday evening to make the recommendation to the Seneca City Council.
Haverkamp said the City Council will consider the recommendation at their next meeting.
Currently, wind energy systems are permitted as a conditional use in areas with a Transitional Ag zoning classification.
Haverkamp said the proposed change is based on input from the city's FlashVote public surveys.
The city's zoning boundaries extend three miles outside of the city limits.
