What's on this agenda

Hillsborough's Board of Commissioners holds a public hearing June 22 on an ordinance imposing a one-year development moratorium on data centers as a land use -- extending an existing 60-day moratorium to a full year under state law (G.S. 160D-107) so the town can study the use before deciding how to regulate it. The board also takes up a general use rezoning and development agreement for 715 US Highway 70 East, converting an assistive living neighborhood designation to multifamily.

On the consent agenda: a staff-initiated text amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance covering Historic District Commission administration, a rezoning request for 515 Meadowlands Drive, a special event permit for Hog Day 2026, the FY2027 salary schedule, and a capital project ordinance amendment for the NC86 facility renovation. Only the agenda was available, not minutes, so the outcome of the data center moratorium hearing and any public comment on it are not recorded here.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.
