   Moratorium proposal leaves approval intact

   Independent reporting on Charlotte's proposed data-center moratorium said the approved Moores Chapel campus was vested and would not be stopped. The report supports an active condition for the development obligation but does not establish final road design, a construction contract, or a road-construction start.

   Council renews realignment obligation

   Charlotte City Council approved Rezoning Petition 2024-144. The approved plan requires Digital Moores Chapel LLC to construct and substantially complete the realignment before the first site certificate of occupancy, retain a connection to Moores Chapel Loop Road, secure CDOT and NCDOT approval, and convey required rights-of-way.

   Kimley-Horn prepared an updated preliminary road sheet for the Digital Charlotte Moores Chapel proposal using Burton Engineering reference plans. The sheet shows a 75-foot right-of-way, two travel lanes, planting strips, and 12-foot multi-use paths on both sides, but it is marked preliminary and not for construction.
