(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council has approved an ordinance that expands the city's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction to three miles surrounding the city limits.
The Council took the action Wednesday evening on the recommendation of the city Planning Commission.
State law allows cities to claim zoning jurisdiction up to three miles around their city limits.
At their November 6 meeting, the Council approved the annexation of several city-owned rural tracts into the city limits. Together, the two actions more than double the amount of land under the city's development guidelines, which currently takes in two miles around the city limits.
The action is largely aimed at preventing the development of a wind farm in areas that are seeing residential development.
