The Butler County Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to consider Resolution 26-40 at its Nov. 10, 2026 meeting in El Dorado, Kansas, according to the published agenda. The resolution would amend the county zoning code to add data-center regulations following a recommendation from the Butler County Planning Commission.
According to the agenda, the item stems from the Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve data center regulations as an amendment to Article 7, Section 7-3, 7-301 (20) of the zoning code. The agenda notes that a Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners joint session addressed the matter on June 23, 2026, ahead of the scheduled vote.
The matter is relevant to residents because it concerns how data centers, including hyperscale facilities, would be regulated under county zoning law. The agenda does not specify the details of the proposed regulations beyond the code section being amended.
