Moore County Planning and Zoning Commission Plans Workshops as Subdivision Moratorium Awaits Vote
Moore County officials are preparing public workshops to review subdivision and zoning regulations while a proposed 12-month subdivision moratorium awaits a December Metro Council vote. The Planning and Zoning Commission is also studying potential data center regulations, but has not advanced restrictions or a separate data center moratorium.
Moore County’s proposed 12-month pause on processing and approving major and minor residential subdivision applications remains subject to a public hearing and another Metro Council vote expected in December. The moratorium would generally apply to developments of four or more homes, while smaller projects would be excluded.
The Planning and Zoning Commission plans to hold public workshops beginning in February to examine subdivision and development rules. Commissioners also continue to study possible data center regulations with information from the University of Tennessee, but they have not yet sent proposed restrictions to the Metro Council or advanced a separate data center moratorium.
