From the meeting
At its November 2, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on Ordinance 2026-XX to amend the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for data centers and data mining. The draft would expand the data center definition, add performance standards, add data center development standards, make data centers conditional uses in I-2, and set 90% impervious surface maximums in industrial districts. The commission recommended that City Council approve the ordinance, and the ordinance text also reflected council first and second readings on November 24 and December 8, 2026.
Decision state: recommended for council approval.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Faribault's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
