A Jerome, Idaho, governing body is scheduled to discuss a draft ordinance addressing data centers at its meeting on Nov. 10, 2026, according to the published agenda posted to the city’s CivicPlus AgendaCenter.
The agenda item, listed as item 10, reads “Discussion on draft code specifically addressing Data Centers,” according to the official record. The same agenda also includes an action item involving an extension of a Preliminary Plat for the Hayboomer Subdivision, as well as a period for Citizen Correspondence and Issues and a Consent Agenda consisting of items described in the agenda as “routine.”
According to the agenda, the data center code discussion is listed as a non-action discussion item rather than a vote, distinct from the preliminary plat item, which is designated as an action item.
The matter is relevant to residents because the agenda indicates the city is actively developing regulatory language specific to data center development, a land-use category not previously detailed in standard city code, according to the published materials. The agenda does not specify the contents of the draft code, its author, or any proposed standards.
