Lexington's Planning Commission recommended strict new zoning rules for data centers on July 30, 2026. Large data centers would not be allowed anywhere in Fayette County. Small ones would need a special permit and could only go in warehouse and light industrial zones. The Urban County Council still has to vote; it held a public meeting on October 6, 2026.
