Consent Item I. Encumbrance Carry Forwards – On motion of Kidd, seconded by Rivenbark,
the Board voted 5-0 to approve the Encumbrance Carry Forwards.
Changes to Unified Development Ordinance
Kim Heinzer, Planning Director, said the North Carolina General Assembly, through its
legislative role, provides for counties and municipalities to adopt and enforce zoning regulations.
Every year the General Assembly makes changes to general statutes including the statutes that
impact zoning regulations and 2025 and 2026 were no exception.
Along with the legislative changes there are a few general modifications:
Updates to the floodplain section of the UDO to reflect the new State Model
Floodplain Ordinance in anticipation of adopting the updated flood maps for Randolph
County.
Addition of language for temporary RV as an allowable use in catastrophic events.
R equirement modifications for Development Impact Analysis and neighborhood
information meetings.
Removal of duplicate definitions.
8/3/26
In addition to the general modifications are significant additions to the ordinance governing
data centers:
Perimeter Security location to be added to the site plan.
Requiring closed-loop water or liquid cooling system.
Must be connected to an existing electric grid prior to Certificate of Occupancy.
Power g enerators only to be used during emergency outages or for routine testing.
Noise i mpact study required before and after completion of the project.
Decommissioning r equirements
The Randolph County Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended changes to be
forwarded to the Board of Commissioners.
Commissioner Haywood asked about split jurisdictions and how that was handled. Ms. Heinzer
stated that normally, the jurisdiction where the majority of the property was situated. The
governments must mutually agree to the use of certain rules and regulations and must be approved
by Resolution.
Commissioner Rivenbark requested clarification of the down zoning language in the UDO. Ms.
Heinzer and Mr. Morgan said it was a requirement to notify all of the owners of the property
affected.
Commissioner Allen pointed out that the Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VAD) legislation
was a goal in 2024. The language requires a public hearing by the VAD Board with their
recommendation being forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board.
Commissioner Haywood explained what she had learned regarding the House Bill rulings on
data centers. The incremental power usage increase is passed on to the data centers not the
residents. When counties have moratoriums, they do not have the language to zone data centers
properly but it’s too late. The Board is working to get a starting point with restrictions and
decommissioning requirements to protect the citizens.
Chairman Frye spoke of the potential for local governments to be stricter with their rules and
regulations than the State in the proposed legislation. He gave an example of the setback for data
centers being no less than 1000 feet in Randolph County but the State only required 500 feet.
Commissioner Rivenbark asked to add a regulation that all data centers must have a public
hearing. Mr. Morgan clarified that with the changes proposed, a public hearing would be required.
Ms. Heinzer replied that with Mr. Morgan’s guidance, that could be added to the changes.
Vice-Chairman Kidd stated that public hearings need to be required.
Mr. Holden suggested that a Special Use Permit be required. Mr. Morgan said that could be
added but as Commissioner Allen stated, any appeal would go to Superior Court and bypass the
Commissioners.
Public Hearing
8/3/26
Chairman Frye opened the Public Hearing and closed it after everyone had spoken that wished
to address the Board. The following citizens spoke in opposition of data centers:
Hannah Wright, 2877 Zoo Pkwy., Asheboro
Donna Hughes, 409 Kennedy Farm Rd. N, Trinity
Samuel Hamilton, 1104 Green Farm Rd., Asheboro
Sybil Murray, 9833 US Hwy 64 E, Ramseur

Stephen Walser, 3280 Quail Meadow Est Rd., Sophia
Stacey Hussey, 2252 Ross Wood Rd., Trinity
Brandon Stone, 1001 Bradford Ln., Archdale
Virginia Wall, 348 Lindley Ave., Asheboro
The citizens expressed concerns of negative impacts on public health, safety, and the
environment. The Commissioners explained that there was not a current request. The reason for
this hearing is to make the rules and regulations more stringent to protect the citizens and the
environment. A moratorium is only a pause. If these rules are not put in place at this meeting, an
application could come to the Planning Board tomorrow and the County would be forced to use
the old Zoning regulations for data centers. These rules and regulations are stronger than what the
State has in legislation currently. The buffer proposed is the largest in the Randolph County UDO.
8/3/26
The Commissioners questioned the Special Use permit and the fact an appeal would go directly
to Superior Court. Mr. Morgan recommended that data centers would be required to have
Conditional Zoning. This would require a Public Hearing by the Planning Board and allow appeals
to come to the Board of Commissioners.
On motion of Allen, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the following
Statement of Plan Consistency regarding the text amendments to the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO): The Board of Commissioners finds that the proposed text amendments are
consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Randolph County Growth Management

Purchase of Crestline Ambulances
Chief Jared Byrd said included in the FY26-27 budget for Emergency Services was the
replacement of three ambulances in the fleet, all with over 350,000 miles. The Emergency Services
Department is requesting the Board of Commissioners consider approval to purchase three (3)
Ford F450 4x4 Crestline CCLP-166 Type I ambulance through the Savvik group purchasing
contract #2023-05 in the amount of $287,793 each, for a total cost of $863,379. These ambulances
currently have a 7–11-month lead time to delivery. Emergency Services currently has several
other Crestline ambulances in the fleet and have been satisfied with their performance.
On motion of Haywood, seconded by Allen, the Board voted 5-0 to approve the purchase of
three (3) replacement Ford F450 4x4 Crestline CCLP-166 Type I ambulances in the amount of
$863,379.
Welcome Center Design, Bidding, and Construction Administration
County Engineer Paxton Arthurs stated with the opening of the Agricultural Center, multiple
positions have been established to schedule and oversee events. At this time, these employees are
working from future offices in Cooperative Extension. However, this is only a temporary measure
and the County will ultimately need extra office space. Additionally, there has been interest in
finding a new home for the Tourism Development Authority that is more accessible and visible to
the public. An additional shared building at the Agricultural Center would satisfy both needs.
8/3/26
Earlier this year, HH Architecture who was the lead designer for the initial project, was hired
to meet with Agricultural Center and Visitor Center staff and develop a preliminary design and
budget. The estimated cost of this project is just under $3 million and there are funds remaining
in the Agricultural Center budget to cover this expense.
On motion of Kidd, seconded by Haywood, the Board voted 5-0 to 1) approve the contract with
HH Architecture in the amount of $279,300 for design, bidding, and construction administration
of a Welcome Center at the Agricultural Center site and 2) authorize the County Manager to sign
the contract.
Expenditure of Law Enforcement Restricted Funds
Chief Deputy Steven Nunn stated the Randolph County Sheriff's Office is requesting approval
to utilize $95,243 in Law Enforcement Restricted Funds to purchase body-worn cameras and in-
car camera systems. Body-worn and in-car cameras have become essential tools in modern law
enforcement enhancing accountability, transparency, officer safety, and evidence collection. These
systems help document law enforcement interactions, protecting both deputies and the citizens
they serve while strengthening public trust.
The requested funding will cover the first-year costs of two separate contracts. The body-worn
cameras contract totals $331,938.16 over a five-year term, and the in-car camera contract totals
$115,419.81 over a four-year term. Combined, the total value of both contracts is $447,358. The
initial expenditure of $95,243 will fund the 2026-2027 year of both contracts, with future annual
payments to be budgeted over the remaining terms of the agreements.
On motion of Rivenbark, seconded by Kidd, to 1) approve the expenditure of Law Enforcement
Restricted funds in the amount of $95,243 for body-worn cameras and in-car cameras, 2) approve
the associated Budget Amendment, as follows, and 3) authorize the County Manager to sign the
contract.
