From the meeting
On October 21, 2026 the council extended a moratorium on battery storage facilities because the zoning code is silent and the city said it needs more time to study public health and safety impacts. The ban on new approvals runs for 45 more days, ending December 5, 2026. This is a pre-solicitation policy signal tied to future rules for battery storage siting and permitting.
