Seneca City Hall
(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council, during a short meeting Wednesday evening, adopted a resolution extending a temporary moratorium on the issuance of conditional use permits for commercial wind and solar energy projects within the zoning jurisdiction of the city.
The Council first imposed the moratorium in September of last year on the recommendation of the city Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission is in the process of reviewing the conditions under which wind and solar energy projects are allowed under the city's current zoning ordinance as a conditional use.
The Planning Commission recommended the moratorium be extended for an additional 180 days to give the board adequate time to hear the concerns of citizens and to conduct a comprehensive review of potential amendments to the Seneca zoning ordinance.
