Transmission line overlay zone in Ag Zone (data center power)
Staff discussed preparing an overlay zone to control the location of a transmission line running from Spanish Fork Canyon to the Mercer substation through the city's Ag Zone (where transmission lines are not allowed), driven partly by data centers needing power. After reviewing Spanish Fork City's repealed overlay and state code (54-14-201) limits, the council reached consensus not to pursue an overlay zone, concluding the public utility (Rocky Mountain Power) can use eminent domain and that any city conditions would require the city to pay actual excess costs. No vote taken; direction to staff to not create the zone but keep dialogue open with the utility.
The other decisions are listed below. Available full write-ups and conditions are included with Pro.
