Council joins voluntary regional stormwater JPA despite concerns about enabling infill development
Council approved 4-1 a resolution joining a regional JPA that lets cities and developers buy off-site stormwater compliance units instead of building on-site bioretention.

Data Center MoratoriumCity Council59d agoApril 14, 2026
Oakley Unanimously Halts All New Data Center Applications Effective Immediately
Council adopted an urgency ordinance imposing a 45-day moratorium on new data center land use applications, with plans to extend to one year and develop permanent regulations.
Why it matters: Public outcry at last month's meeting over a proposed data center prompted this action; the city currently lacks any specific regulations for data centers, leaving it vulnerable to applications it cannot adequately evaluate for health and environmental impacts.
