San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria has issued an executive order calling for a temporary suspension of data center development within city limits, according to an announcement released Thursday.
The directive instructs municipal staff to move forward with establishing a moratorium that would block new data center projects from proceeding in San Diego.
The executive order was signed on October 22, 2026, though officials have not yet disclosed the duration of the proposed moratorium or the specific reasons behind the decision to pause such development.
