Pima County has temporarily banned data centers while leaders consult with industry experts and local development staff on the best ways to align development with community concerns. A proposed ordinance, which would require data centers to obtain a Type III conditional use permit, advanced to the board of supervisors. Pima County Planning and Zoning Commissioner Bob Cook stated that Pima County is as large as Connecticut and that local decisions could set standards for the coming decades.
