Legislature places 120-day hold on processing of data-center and battery-storage land-use applications
Summary
The legislature introduced Ordinance 6074 to implement a 120-day moratorium on data-center and battery energy storage system land-use applications while county staff develop long-term policy and code provisions; the body held the item for committee review rather than adopting it at this meeting.
Jackson County lawmakers on April 13 introduced Ordinance 6074 to impose a 120-day moratorium on processing data-center and battery energy storage system land-use applications. The stated purpose is to allow county staff to develop long-term policy, regulatory standards and public-notification requirements before new applications are processed.
The clerk read the ordinance language establishing a 120-day moratorium. The Chair said the public-works and health/environment committee had not met, so the legislature would hold the item and later determine whether the public hearing should be in committee or before the legislature as a whole. No final adoption occurred at this meeting; the item was placed for further committee consideration.
