LAND USE ELEMENT
GHG reduction strategies that address the above-referenced requirements are
contained within goals, objectives and policies throughout the Land Use Element. The
core strategies for GHG reduction within the Land Use Plan elements utilize:
(1) The incorporation into the comprehensive plan of land use categories such as
Mixed Use and Medical Commercial discourage sprawl, incorporate energy
efficient land use patterns and lower Wellington’s contribution to green house gas
emissions.
(2) Reduction of the “heat island effect” through the provision of green or open
spaces, the maintaining of existing low-density residential equestrian areas and
the enforcement of landscape requirements. The “heat island effect” occurs when
warm temperatures are experienced in urban areas compared to adjacent rural
areas because of solar energy retention on constructed surfaces.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SITING
Wellington has adopted Land Development Regulations to control the location and type
of personal wireless communication facilities.
