The most common wind turbine issues that communities are concerned about and therefore might address in an ordnance are identified. These issues include noise, safety, communications interference, aesthetics, wind access, and height restrictions. How communities have addressed these issues as well as their approaches for dealing with small wind turbines in general are examined. In particular, the Riverside County, California, an ordinance recently prepared is explained in detail.
