Monarch Data Center / Copia Power PUD rezone (PLC 2026-041)
Description
A roughly 505-acre rezone from rural residential (RR-20) to PUD for a data center campus with gas generation and battery storage came up repeatedly in public comment. The board didn't act on it — its zone change is set for Thursday, August 6 — but speakers asked the board to deny it, continue it, or pull it from that agenda.
Impact summary
If approved as proposed, it would be one of the largest data centers in the country, drawing an estimated up to 800 acre-feet of water and raising noise, traffic and health concerns for a currently rural-residential area.
