Draft requires expanded application checklist and county‑selected third‑party reviews

Jun 23, 2026

The draft application adds classification fields (power demand, building square footage, acreage), requires a host of studies (water, traffic, noise, hazardous materials, energy usage), and asks applicants to deposit funds for county‑selected third‑party reviews of those studies.

The full story

County staff walked the boards through proposed changes to the CUP application form and the core submittal checklist. The form will include a data‑center classification checkbox and specific data fields — power demand/capacity, cumulative building square footage and project acreage — to allow staff to cross‑check classification and determine appropriate review and deposit amounts.
