Jackson County schedules joint review of draft ordinance for high‑density computing facilities

May 19, 2026

Jackson County supervisors and the zoning commission will hold a joint work session after zoning presented a draft "high density computing facilities" ordinance. Staff will send the draft to the county attorney for preliminary review; supervisors raised concerns about electricity, water use and land‑use compatibility.

The full story

Becca from the county zoning office presented a draft ordinance for "high density computing facilities" — a category the county is using for large data‑processing operations including major data centers — and asked the Board of Supervisors to hold a joint work session with the zoning commission so the board can "review the draft with them, ask questions, and give direction before it moves any further in the process." Becca said she planned to "send the current draft to the county attorney's office today for preliminary legal review," so the joint session would not spend time on language that may need legal adjustment.
