Moratorium and restriction source reviews.
Moratorium record: action recorded instrument unverified. Sources checked October 26, 2026.
Official City meeting recap records October20 second reading approval for Ordinance21,Series2026, described as an eighteen month moratorium on acceptance, processing and approval of land use applications or building permits for development or construction of data centers and related land uses.
The consent agenda containing this item was approved six to zero. This is an official action summary, not the signed ordinance or complete legal text. Effective date, exact termination, definitions, exceptions, later amendments and present legal effect remain unverified. No individual project cancellation or operating status is set.
Moratorium record: proposed. Sources checked October 26, 2026.
County agenda proposes a pause on submission and acceptance of new applications for large scale data centers in unincorporated Martin County. The described definition uses a single location with anticipated monthly peak load of at least 50 megawatts, with colocated customers included and different locations not aggregated.
The agenda recommends adoption at the second hearing, not an accomplished vote. Already complete applications would continue under prior regulations according to the proposal. A prior procedural vote changes hearing timing only. The linked ordinance attachment returned HTTP 410, so full text, exceptions, term, adoption and legal effective day remain unverified. No project status is set.
Moratorium record: action recorded instrument unverified. Sources checked October 26, 2026.
August12 minutes record adoption action for Resolution08-12-26-1. The unsigned hosted text would restrict data center construction, installation, replacement and enlargement across the Township, with exclusions for accessory server rooms, ordinary business IT and separately regulated telecommunications facilities, and an exemption for centers existing before adoption.
Officially hosted text leaves adoption and signature blanks. It states one year with possible earlier Board termination and effectiveness upon adoption, but the executed instrument and later amendments remain unverified. No exact legal expiry or current effect certified. Supporting infrastructure is covered only when principally serving the defined computing use.
www.avontownshipmn.gov www.avontownshipmn.gov www.avontownshipmn.gov
Ban record: proposed. Sources checked October 26, 2026.
Draft local law would prohibit data centers, artificial intelligence computing facilities and their supporting uses under the Town zoning code.
Five page filing form leaves law number and adoption certifications blank. Health care internal computing has a qualified definition exclusion. Supporting infrastructure prohibition is tied to the covered facilities, not every substation or battery. Filing with the Secretary of State is the draft effective condition; no actual filing, adoption or present effect established.
Moratorium record: proposed. Sources checked October 26, 2026.
City recap records first reading approval following the third public hearing for a proposed ninety day pause on acceptance, processing and approval of data center applications in the City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The recap explicitly says this action did not put the pause into effect. Final reading is scheduled November4 and would require three fourths approval. November5 commencement and February3,2027 termination are conditional and are not stored as effective dates. A possible additional ninety days is not an adopted extension.
Moratorium record: extended. Sources checked October 28, 2026.
Council action history records approval of the extension ordinance October 26. The ordinance becomes effective upon adoption, while the extended application pause commences November 6, 2026 and ends no later than October 18, 2027, or upon approval of specified new rules or policies, whichever occurs first. Covered actions are acceptance, processing and approval of new telecommunications and data storage applications within Charlotte and its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The posted attachment has an October 26 adoption clause but no executed signature block. The item header still says Agenda Ready; the separate action history records Approve and Pass. Internal support facilities meeting the stated conditions and projects exempt under state law are excluded. No individual exemption, physical shutdown, project cancellation or site stage is determined.
Moratorium record: proposed. Sources checked October 28, 2026.
Town notice proposes a one year restriction covering computing facility development review, approvals and specified construction or alteration activity within Town of Tyre. Town Board hearing is scheduled October28 at18:30.

Moratorium record: proposed. Sources checked October 28, 2026.
Draft would pause data center commercial development within City municipal boundaries, City CCNs and the Denton Municipal Electric Certificated Service Area, with a stated Chapter 245 exception. Staff schedules December 1 Council consideration of enactment.
The retained instrument is an unsigned proposal with blank adoption and vote fields. Draft work plan target dates are not accomplished legal dates. Separate development code amendments do not establish moratorium enactment. Exact mapped coverage, individual project eligibility and present operation remain unverified.
Ban record: proposed. Sources checked October 28, 2026.
Draft permits data centers only in the M1 Industrial Park district with a Specific Use Permit and prohibits them in other zoning districts. It would cover principal and supporting facilities, restrict cooling water sources, require data center funded substations and prevent separate accessory classifications from avoiding the use permit.
This is a partial zoning prohibition with an M1 permitting exception, not a City wide ban. Draft text is not law in effect. A separate unsigned ordinance proposes calling a December1 joint hearing; blank adoption, vote and signature fields do not establish that call. Individual property eligibility and existing project rights remain unverified.

Ban record: proposed. Sources checked October 28, 2026.
Both County options would exclude data centers above the stated75kW IT energy load boundary. Option1 expressly permits the smaller defined use in LI and GI through Limited Impact Special Review. Option2 defines the larger use in Article18 and excludes it from General Industrial.
These are alternative draft approaches, not two adopted laws or a blanket prohibition on every computing use. Incidental server infrastructure is expressly excluded by Option1. The existing temporary moratorium is a separate measure. No October21 recommendation, final Board action or site specific eligibility is verified.

Ban record: proposed. Sources checked October 28, 2026.
The proposed use tables mark hyperscale data centers prohibited and provide review paths for smaller facilities. Draft definitions aggregate peak demand across property phases and operators and put hyperscale at30MW or above.
The portal summary describes a30MW cap and a category above30MW, creating a boundary discrepancy with the draft definition. Exact treatment at30MW remains unresolved. Neither draft language nor the summary is adopted law. Existing facility modifications have specific provisions; no blanket shutdown or present resource performance is established.

Ban record: adopted current status unverified. Sources checked October 28, 2026.
Official title designates data centers nonpermitted in all Township zones. Do not infer closure of an existing facility.
Final passage notice reports October19 2026 adoption after July13 introduction. Scanned packet page4 inconsistently labels July13 adoption and August17 hearing; page5 has blank final adoption fields. Dates conflict, so no exact adoption or effect day is selected. Current exceptions and operative text completeness unverified.
Ban record: adopted current status unverified. Sources checked October 28, 2026.

Reported pause on filing, processing or approving permits for new and expanded data centers above 10 MW in unincorporated county areas.
News labels ordinance 2026 577 but links to legislative O2026 557. Linked record displays August 27 effective date; this is not assigned across the unresolved identifier conflict. October 20 scheduled hearing is not a completed outcome. Full executed terms and exceptions unreviewed.
Moratorium record: adopted current status unverified. Sources checked October 29, 2026.
Hyperscale category covers facilities meeting any one criterion: area at least100000squarefeet, electricity demand above75MW, at least5000servers, or cooling or operational water use above50gallonsperminute.
