As allowed by Government Code section 65893, the purpose of this chapter is to provide a uniform and comprehensive set of standards for the placement of accessory wind energy systems on parcels in order to encourage the generation of electricity for on site use, thereby reducing the consumption of electrical power supplied by utility companies. These regulations are intended to ensure that accessory wind energy systems are designed and located in a manner that minimizes visual and safety impacts on the surrounding community.
