San Diego council adopts 45-day moratorium on new data centers
The San Diego City Council voted unanimously on Oct. 27 for a 45-day moratorium on permitting, approving and developing data centers within city limits, which the council can extend, KPBS reported. KPBS tied the vote to a proposal from Manchester Financial Group for a 400-megawatt data center at the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) site in Old Town. City staff have 180 days to develop preliminary recommendations through a stakeholder working group, and the council plans to amend the city’s land development code next year, per KPBS.
