Land Use Board | June 9, 2026

The Union County Land Use Board met on June 9, 2026, to discuss zoning ordinance amendments related to emerging technologies such as data centers and cryptocurrency mining operations. The board considered adding these uses to the heavy industrial zoning district with specific supplemental regulations addressing setbacks, noise, lighting, utility capacity, and environmental impacts, including water usage and wastewater disposal. The board recommended approval of these amendments with additional research on prohibiting groundwater well use and controlling wastewater discharge to protect local water resources. Additionally, the board discussed subdivision regulations, particularly the definition of lots split by roads and family subdivision provisions, but deferred final recommendations pending a full board meeting. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session.
