Commissioners add discussion of data-center zoning, planning staff to draft ordinance
Summary
A commissioner moved to add a non-decisional agenda item to discuss a proposed zone-specific prohibition and resolution on data centers; staff said the change would require a zoning-code amendment, planning commission review and DLCD notices. The board agreed to schedule the discussion in about two weeks.
Commissioner King moved to add an agenda item to open a discussion about proposed county action on data centers. The motion was to add a preliminary discussion of a proposed resolution and a zone-specific ordinance to the board's agenda; the board voted to add the item for a later discussion but made no decisions on policy.
A staff member cautioned that the proposed approach appears to be a zone-specific prohibition rather than a moratorium and that the process would require staff work, referral to the planning commission, and DLCD notices under state law. The board agreed to have staff prepare the documents and return in roughly two weeks for a fuller conversation.
