Planning commission asks for July hearing to consider banning data centers in unincorporated county
Summary
The Osage County Planning Commission requested the Board schedule a public hearing for July 29 to consider amending zoning regulations to prohibit data centers in unincorporated areas; the Board approved setting the hearing and directed at least two publications for public notice.
The Osage County Planning Commission has requested an amendment to county zoning regulations to prohibit the development of data centers in unincorporated Osage County and asked the Board of County Commissioners to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on the matter.
A Planning & Zoning representative told commissioners the Planning Commission voted 5–0 on May 27 to pursue the amendment and recommended a hearing to gather community input. “The Osage County Planning Commission has requested an amendment to the Osage County, Kansas zoning regulations to prohibit the development of data centers within the unincorporated areas of the county,” the presenter said.
The board set the hearing for July 29, directed that notice be published at least twice in the paper, and asked the Planning Commission to submit formal findings and recommendations in July. Commissioners agreed the hearing should proceed; the motion to schedule the hearing was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. No zoning change was adopted at the meeting; the public hearing will provide an opportunity for community comment and formal recommendation from the Planning Commission.
