Scope
Pima County Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 2026-56, approved as amended on 22 September 2026, imposes an immediate moratorium under A.R.S. § 11-833 on future development of new data centers in unincorporated Pima County where permits for site improvements or building construction have not been issued. Development Services is directed not to intake, accept or process covered building-permit or site-improvement applications. The Board may waive the moratorium after a noticed public meeting. The final amended text was not available when checked, so this record does not calculate an end date from the earlier 120-day draft.

Summary
Pima County approved Resolution No. 2026-56 as amended on 22 September 2026, placing an immediate moratorium on covered new data center development in unincorporated Pima County while the county updates its zoning code. The earlier draft described a 120-day pause and possible waivers, but the final amended text was not available when checked; this record therefore does not publish a duration or calculated end date.
What this does not establish
- The resolution in the agenda packet has a blank number line; the county record identifies it as Resolution No. 2026-56.
- The Board approved the item as amended, but the final amended resolution text was not opened. The draft's 120-day term is not treated as the final duration.
- It would apply to unincorporated Pima County only, not to Tucson or other cities.
Unresolved questions
- The duration, waiver language and any other changes in the final amended resolution remain to be checked when that text is posted.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
