Summary

The committee approved (7–0) an amendment and then passed BO 20 26 1448, a temporary moratorium related to a proposed data center on property in Nashville/Davidson County; the amendment changes the effective date and explicitly adds administrative appeals to the moratorium and sets expiration on Dec. 1.

The committee considered ordinance BO 20 26 1448, described as an ordinance declaring a temporary moratorium tied to acceptance of insurance, zoning, building and grading permits for a proposed data center on property in Nashville and Davidson Counties (names listed in the file: Johnston, Bradford, Kupin, Weiner).

Miss Johnston offered an amendment, which the Chair summarized as making two changes: (1) it moved the moratorium’s effective date and related conditions (the amendment set an expiration of December 1 where dates had previously been tied to other events), and (2) it added administrative appeals to the list of matters that would be placed under the moratorium. The Chair responded to a question that passage of the amendment would not delay other legislative steps.

The committee voted 7–0 in favor of the amendment. The bill was then moved as amended and approved 7–0. The transcript records the changes to expiration and the inclusion of administrative appeals; it does not include the full ordinance text, permit conditions or any fiscal detail.
