From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the planning board considered a text amendment to add development standards for data center uses. The county had already imposed a six-month moratorium on June 15, 2026 while staff developed rules. The draft covers setbacks, noise, buffering, utility attestation, and cooling limits.
This matters to developers and infrastructure vendors because the county is defining the approval path before any data center project can move forward.
