Text amendment clears local planning panel; rezoning and referendum remain possible for any data-center project

The Clark County Planning Commission reviewed the draft on June 3 and recommended approval with the addition of the USDA prime-farmland language; the Rural Zoning Commission echoed that recommendation on June 11. Mrs. Dunlap explained that the text amendment itself would be adopted by the County Commissioners and that any proposed data-center site would require rezoning to I-2 before a conditional-use application — and that a rezoning approved by the commissioners could be subject to a referendum and public vote.
