County schedules data‑center code work and notes state‑mandated housing meeting
Summary
Staff told the commission a draft data‑center plan review is due by the end of October with a public hearing in November; commissioners were also reminded of a state‑mandated housing discussion hearing on Aug. 31.
County staff updated the commission on proposed code work for data centers and reminded commissioners of an upcoming state‑mandated housing meeting.
The county presenter said the "current timeline is to have a plan review draft in, basically, the end of October and then have a big public hearing in November." He described how state‑level momentum and some proposed moratoriums are shaping local code choices and said the county is trying to strike a balance so that smaller data centers can be permitted while constraining hyperscale facilities.
Separately, staff reminded commissioners that a state‑mandated housing discussion is scheduled for Aug. 31 at 6 p.m., which will include all four planning jurisdictions and other elected or appointed officials. The presenter said he is trying to make the required meeting useful to local jurisdictions by focusing on items the state requires while highlighting practical policy options such as preapproval and permit timing adjustments.
