From the meeting
At its November 9, 2026 work session, the commission discussed regulatory options for data centers and staff said they were seeking feedback on preferred approaches. The report proposed defining data centers in the zoning ordinance and considering special permit rules, water and energy plans, disclosure requirements, and community benefits agreements before approval. Staff said they wanted direction so they could recommend specific ordinance amendments at an upcoming regular meeting.
This was a policy discussion only; no ordinance amendment was approved in this document.

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.
