Board removes broad 'data processing facility' use from zoning ordinance

Jul 10, 2026

Following a planning-commission recommendation, the board voted unanimously to remove the existing zoning use and definition for 'call center and/or data processing facility' from multiple sections of the county zoning ordinance; a separate proposal to add a new, detailed definition and special-use permit process was tabled by the commission for later consideration.

The full story

County staff summarized a recent planning commission public hearing in which commissioners debated two related goals: amending the current ordinance and proposing a new definition and permitting approach for data processing facilities. "Ultimately, mister Dean made a motion to repeal data processing facility from section 3 dash 4 to c and 3 dash 5 u, 4 dash 10.6, and article 10 of the zoning ordinance," the staff member said, and the planning commission recommended removal by a unanimous vote.
