From the ordinance
Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) (land use). This land use is defined as any machine that converts and then stores or transfers the kinetic energy in the wind into a usable form of mechanical or electrical energy. The WECS consists of all parts of the system, including the base or foundation tower, wind turbine, generator, rotor, blades, supports, and transmission equipment. Additional WECS definitions include: 1. Small Wind Energy Conversion System. This land use is defined as: (1) any small freestanding WECS up to 40 feet in total height above grade; (2) a roof-mounted WECS utilizing a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) or a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) and not exceeding ten feet in height above the roof line of the structure; or (3) a non-grid-tied WECS used solely to pump water for agricultural uses and not exceeding 100 feet in total height above grade. 2. Medium Wind Energy Conversion System. This land use is defined as any WEC project between 40 feet and 200 feet in total height above grade. 3. Large Wind Energy Conversion System. This land use is defined as any WECS project greater than 200 feet in total height above grade.
