Planning commission schedules moratorium hearing and forms committee to draft data‑center rules
Summary
The APC set a public hearing for Sept. 22 on a moratorium related to data‑center regulation and formed a multi‑member advisory committee to draft ordinance language addressing CO2 and data‑center text amendments before the end of the year.
Staff announced a public hearing on the proposed moratorium for Sept. 22 (doors open 5:30 p.m., meeting 6:00 p.m.) and described the committee that will draft ordinance language for the area plan commission. Penny said the committee will include representatives from the APC, county commissioners, county council and citizen representatives; the committee will prepare the ordinance that APC will recommend to the commissioners.
The moratorium is tied to the county’s broader work on carbon sequestration rules and a separate data‑center text amendment. Penny said the moratorium will give the county time to “focus on getting the CO2 done before the end of the year.” The commission noted the process will include workshops that are public‑noticed but may not take formal public comment, and staff will post schedules on the county calendar.
