Summary
An Oakland City Council item filed on 8 September 2026 (file 27-0050) recommends an interim urgency ordinance under Government Code Section 65858 that would temporarily stop approval of land use entitlements or agreements for developing or operating data centers in Oakland, effective immediately if adopted. The official Legistar record shows it In Council and set for the 6 October 2026 agenda. It has not been adopted.
What this does not establish
- The terms come from the official Legistar matter title in a title-search response; the ordinance text and staff report were not opened.
- State law limits the initial term of a Section 65858 interim ordinance; the proposal's own term was not read, so none is recorded.
Unresolved questions
- Whether the Council adopts the urgency ordinance on or after 6 October 2026.
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.
