Douglas County commissioners imposed a moratorium on large scale wind energy projects through April 30 to draft wind farm regulations. The measure applies to towers over 100 feet or multi turbine systems, while the county plans a five month rulemaking process led by the Zoning and Codes Department and Planning Commission. County officials stressed support for wind energy but cited missing regulations.
