Hudson Council weighs data center moratorium; Planning Commission to hold hearings
The Hudson Town Council on July 1 considered a temporary halt on new data center facilities, part of a meeting that also included a proposed policy for public comment and a library board appointment. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so no final votes are known. The discussion continues this week as the Planning Commission takes up the moratorium alongside land-use code changes.
Council considers data center pause
Council members reviewed Ordinance 26-13 on second reading, which would establish a temporary moratorium on new data center facilities. The item was listed on the agenda for the July 1 regular meeting, but official minutes are not yet available to confirm if it passed. The ordinance was first introduced at an earlier meeting.
The council also held a work session on a potential photo radar program, though no formal action was taken.
Other council business
Two resolutions were on the July 1 agenda:
- Resolution 26-38 would approve a new policy governing public comment during meetings.
- Resolution 26-39 would ratify the appointment of Carmody Lee to the High Plains Library District Board.
Additionally, an intergovernmental agreement between the Hudson Fire Protection District and the Windsor-Severance Fire Protection District was listed but no details were provided in the agenda summary.
Upcoming: Planning Commission to take up moratorium and code amendments
The Hudson Planning Commission meets July 8 at a time and location to be announced. The agenda includes two public hearings:
- Land Development Code Amendments (Case 26-06), postponed from June 10.
- Planning Commission Pay and Future Code Amendment.
Commissioners will also discuss the data center moratorium in the context of future code changes. A Weld County referral for a family farm division (FFD26-00039, Sarchet) is listed as a discussion item.
