Summary
The City of Reno reports that on 1 June 2026 the City Council approved a final moratorium resolution on data center development. According to the city, Reno will not accept conditional use permit applications for data centers, which every new data center in the city needs, through 31 August 2027 or until adequate regulations are adopted. The city's page does not print the day the resolution took effect. It is a temporary pause on applications, not a permanent prohibition.
What this does not establish
- The evidence is the city's Development Services initiatives page. The resolution text, its number and the vote were not opened.
- The page prints no effective day for the resolution; the 31 August 2027 end it states is given in the completion condition.
- The page calls this a final moratorium resolution; any earlier interim action is not described there and is not recorded here.
- A separate text amendment to Title 18 on data center regulations, initiated on 22 April 2026, is a pending measure and is not recorded here.
Unresolved questions
- The day the resolution took effect is not stated on the city's page.
- Whether the council adopts data center regulations that end the moratorium before 31 August 2027.
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.
