Adair County Board refers draft data‑center ordinance to county attorney for review
Summary
The board discussed a draft ordinance that would regulate data centers, focusing on proposed setback requirements and legal implications. The draft will be forwarded to the County Attorney and ICAP if needed for further review.
The Adair County Board of Supervisors discussed a draft ordinance intended to regulate data centers in the county and agreed to forward the draft for legal review.
Board discussion focused on setback requirements and potential legal issues. The board reached consensus to send the draft ordinance to the County Attorney and, if further review is required, to ICAP (Iowa Communities Assurance Pool) for additional legal counsel and risk assessment. No ordinance was adopted at the March 31 meeting; the action taken was a referral for legal review so staff and counsel can refine the proposal.
The board did not set a timeline for the next step beyond the referral; additional review and any future meetings will determine whether the draft proceeds to a public hearing or is revised further.
