Commission tables code establishing rules for high‑impact data mining/cryptocurrency centers
Summary
Commissioners voted to table an ordinance (12c) that would create a High‑Impact Development standard to regulate data‑mining and cryptocurrency centers, citing a need for more study and discussion.
Planning staff told the commission that there is currently no local code language governing construction or installation of high‑impact data‑mining or cryptocurrency centers and proposed a new section to regulate such facilities. "This is one we have nothing governing the construction installation of data mining cryptocurrency centers ... and we wanted to have something that regulated those," Director Eric Poche said.
Multiple commissioners said they wanted more time to review the draft language. A motion to table item 12c (the high‑impact development facility section) was made and passed; commissioners left the item open‑ended on the calendar to be brought back when more information or a revised draft is available.
