WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Marion County, Kansas, has the authority to regulate land use in the unincorporated areas of the county under K.S.A. 19-101a(a) and (b); and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to protect the county’s landscape and rural environment in the more densely populated areas of the county.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MARION COUNTY, KANSAS:

b. East Branch j. Risley

c. Liberty k. Wilson

d. Menno l. Gale

e. Peabody m. Durham Park

f. Centre n. Colfax

g. Clear Creek o. Catlin

h. Lehigh

3. Applicability: This prohibition applies to all new applications for, and the construction of, commercial wind projects, including turbines, substations, and associated infrastructure.

4. Exceptions: This resolution does not prohibit small-scale, non-commercial wind energy systems designed solely for on-site, personal consumption (subject to accessory structure zoning regulations).

5. Effective Date: This resolution shall take effect upon publication in the official county newspaper.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Commissioners of Marion County, Kansas, this 16th day of March 2026.
