Temporary Moratorium on Data Center Facilities

Approved.

Ordinance establishing a temporary (one-year) moratorium on the construction or expansion of, and issuance of building permits, development orders, or rezoning of property for data center facilities within unincorporated Citrus County. Over 40 members of the public spoke, all in opposition to data centers, particularly a proposed data center at the Holder Industrial Park by Deltona Corporation. County Attorney clarified the moratorium does NOT cover the Holder rezoning itself but would prevent post-rezoning building permits and site improvement plans during the moratorium. Vote with Commissioner Davis temporarily out of the room (later recorded her aye).
