City staff says council extended moratorium on data center permits to August 2027
Summary
Staff told the Planning Commission the City Council extended a moratorium on new data-center permits until August 2027 and directed staff to draft an ordinance and pursue public outreach; no new data-center applications will be accepted in the interim.
During general staff announcements at the June 4 meeting, Development Services staff told the Planning Commission that the City Council has extended a moratorium on new data-center permits until August 2027 and directed staff to draft a new ordinance and conduct public outreach. "The city council extended the moratorium on data centers until August of 2027," staff said.
Staff clarified that no new data-center permits or applications related to data centers will be accepted while the moratorium is in effect, and that regional planning and a stakeholder outreach program are already underway to inform a proposed ordinance. Commissioners were told there were no new data-center applications currently under review.
The extension will pause new permit activity while the city develops zoning language and outreach plans; staff said they will bring updates back to the commission as that work progresses.
