Local votes and rules
📜 Data center rules
Spanish Fork's city council changed its land use code (Title 15) to define data centers and sites that make their own electricity, with rules on noise, emissions, water use and shutting down later. The company Volition asked for the change for a data center; after neighbors objected, it said it would move the project to the Stockman Flats industrial area west of I-15. A hearing on Aug 18 drew many comments, and the council put off the vote twice before passing it.
📜 Data center rules · Utah County
Utah County is writing rules that would allow data centers in its Mining and Grazing (M&G-1) and Industrial (I-1) zones and add a new Data Center Overlay zone with standards. The county planning commission held a hearing on Sept 15, 2026 and will discuss it again in October. Drafts call for two public meetings before an application and postcards to homes within one mile.
🗳️ Public vote
A group of Spanish Fork residents filed a referendum application to put the city's new data center rules (Title 15 change) to a public vote. City officials have 20 days to review it. No vote date is set.
