Committee forwards proposed interim moratorium on data centers to the County Board
Summary
The committee voted unanimously to send Resolution for Ordinance Amendment #02-2026—amending Chapter 9, Article 5, Section 9.57 to create an interim moratorium on data centers—to the Oneida County Board for consideration.
Oneida County planning staff presented Ordinance Amendment #02-2026 on July 22, 2026, proposing to amend Chapter 9, Article 5, Section 9.57 of the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance to create an interim moratorium on data centers. After discussion, the committee voted to forward a resolution supporting OA #02-2026 to the full County Board (motion by Bob Almekinder, second by Michael Tautges), with all members voting "Aye."
The minutes do not include the full draft language of the amendment in the record; staff indicated the amendment is intended as an interim pause while county review and possible ordinance language are finalized. The committee’s vote forwards the matter to the County Board for further action; the committee did not adopt the ordinance at this meeting but advanced the resolution requesting board consideration.
