Tabled · 5-0
After extended discussion of power and water use, noise and appropriate zoning districts, the council tabled the ordinance. Council Member Michelle Stallings asked staff to consider making data centers a conditional use, creating specific data center districts, requiring more thorough noise studies and mitigation, adding protections for adjacent residential areas and reviewing utility impact requirements.
