On June 30, the Washington County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that would pause data center development applications for six months. The ordinance would defer the County’s acceptance, processing, review, and approval of applications for new data centers. County Attorney Zachary Kieffer is presenting the proposal.
According to the staff report, data centers are not currently well addressed under county laws, including the Washington County Zoning Ordinance. The County says data centers raise major concerns because they use large amounts of energy and water, generate significant noise, and could affect public infrastructure, nearby residents, private property, and the environment. The recommended motion is to approve the six-month deferral after the public hearing. Alternatives include shortening or extending the deferral period, delaying a decision, or adopting the ordinance at a later date.
