Data Center Zoning Rules Head to PHP Committee July 22
Fani-GonzálezJul 9, 2026
The PHP Committee will begin a work session on ZTA 26-01 on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 1:30 p.m., addressing proposed zoning rules for data centers in Montgomery County. The measure, co-introduced by Council Vice President Balcombe, Councilmember Sayles, and Council President Fani-González, would restrict data centers to industrial zones under conditional-use review and require 100% clean energy and non-potable cooling systems. County Executive Elrich announced a six-month moratorium on data center development in June 2026.
