Scope
Proposed ordinance O-251-26 would amend the Louisville Metro Land Development Code regarding data centers (Planning Commission Case No. 25-LDC-0014), adding definitions such as Data Center and accessory and telecommunication data centers and use standards, including a requirement that a transmission study request be filed with Louisville Gas and Electric Company before development and an executed service agreement exist before operation. It had not been enacted as of 23 September 2026. The official record captured on 18 October 2026 lists a committee hold on 6 October and a scheduled agenda date of 20 October. This remains a proposed ordinance, not an enacted measure.

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.
