Planning committee forwards interim moratorium on data centers to county board
Summary
The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee voted unanimously July 22 to forward Ordinance Amendment #02-2026, proposing an interim moratorium on data centers, to the County Board for consideration.
The Oneida County Planning & Development Committee voted unanimously July 22 to forward a resolution proposing Ordinance Amendment #02-2026 — an interim moratorium on data centers — to the Oneida County Board of Supervisors.
Karl Jennrich, Planning & Zoning director, presented proposed language to amend Chapter 9, Article 5, Section 9.57 of the Oneida County Zoning and Shoreland Protection Ordinance to create the temporary prohibition. The motion to send the resolution to the County Board passed on a voice vote (motion by Bob Almekinder, second by Michael Tautges; with all members present voting “Aye,” the motion carried).
The committee did not adopt the ordinance itself; forwarding the resolution begins the County Board’s review. The staff packet and the motion reference the specific ordinance section under consideration (Chapter 9, Article 5, Section 9.57). The committee did not set an effective date or additional deadlines; those would be determined at later hearings before the County Board if it elects to advance the amendment.
Next steps: the resolution for OA #02-2026 will be considered by the Oneida County Board of Supervisors per normal procedures.
