Signed minutes of the 4 August 2026 Planning Commission meeting (scanned; read by OCR) record the zoning administrator presenting a map of possible development areas with a one-mile buffer around cities for 'big infrastructure projects' and a half-mile buffer around county addresses, limited to the Mining & Grazing zone. A commissioner proposed a conditional overlay permit for 'highly contested industries' and said he did not want large computer companies to 'fly under the guise of Industrial zoning'; members listed possible conditions (water use, evaporation, heat, power supply, the county's finances). The administrator asked members to list conditions and said he would like a public hearing in November 2026, aiming to finish the code update by year end. Valar, nuclear power and the Wellington parcel are not mentioned. The parcel lies about five miles from Wellington (csite-002), outside a one-mile city buffer.
