Summary

Oakland file 27-0178, created on 21 October 2026, is a proposed interim emergency ordinance that would extend Interim Emergency Ordinance No. 13899 C.M.S., the city's temporary moratorium on approving land use entitlements and agreements for the development or operation of data centers, for ten months and fifteen days. The City's legislative record lists the ordinance as in committee, with a Rules and Legislation Committee entry on 22 October 2026 and a council agenda date of 10 November 2026. It has not been adopted and does not by itself change the ordinance identified for extension.

What this does not establish

  • Only the City's legislative record page was reviewed. It shows the title, status and history but not the ordinance text, so exceptions and any other terms of the extension are not described.
  • The page identifies the ordinance being extended only as Interim Emergency Ordinance No. 13899 C.M.S.; it does not show that ordinance's adoption date or term.
  • The 22 October 2026 committee entry shows no recorded action or result.

Unresolved questions

  • Whether the City Council adopts the extension ordinance on or after 10 November 2026, and in what form.

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.
