Summary
Sarpy County, Nebraska defines data centers in its zoning regulations and lists them as a principal permitted use in the Heavy General Business and Light Industrial districts and as a special use requiring a permit in the General Business district. The compiled regulations currently posted by the county were approved by Resolution 2024-030 on 23 January 2024.
What this does not establish
- The date the data center provisions were first adopted was not determined; the same provisions appear in the compilation approved by Resolution 2020-157 on 2 June 2020, so 23 January 2024 is the approval date of the current compilation, not of the provisions.
- The county's zoning jurisdiction boundaries, and any later amendment after Resolution 2024-030, were not checked beyond the county's Regulations page on 2026-09-23.
- City zoning inside Sarpy County (for example Papillion or La Vista) is not covered by this record.
- No effective date is stated in the compiled document; none is stored.
Unresolved questions
None recorded.
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.
