Oneida County committee advances proposed moratorium on data centers for public hearing
Summary
The committee approved corrected language for Ordinance Amendment #02-2026 (a proposed moratorium on data centers), asked staff to research applying the changes countywide, and forwarded the amendment to a public hearing.
The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee reviewed proposed language for Ordinance Amendment #02-2026 — an amendment to Chapter 9, Article 5, Section 9.57 of the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance that would impose a moratorium on data centers. Karl Jennrich presented the proposal and discussed details with Corporation Counsel and committee members.
Committee members conferred with staff and counsel about wording changes and requested that staff research whether the moratorium language can be applied to all towns countywide. The committee approved the language with the discussed corrections and voted to forward the amendment to a public hearing on a motion by Bob Almekinder, seconded by Michael Tautges; all members present voted Aye.
Next steps: the ordinance language will be revised to reflect the committee’s corrections, staff will report back on the feasibility of countywide application, and a public hearing will be scheduled before any moratorium takes effect.
