From the meeting
At its October 14, 2026 meeting, the Bell City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1299, an interim urgency ordinance that prohibited new data centers and the expansion or relocation of existing data centers for 45 days. The ordinance said staff would study and develop new zoning regulations, procedures, and fees for data centers during that period.
It also barred related entitlements, including subdivision, use permit, variance, site plan review, grading permit, building permit, and business license approvals. Decision state: approved as an urgency measure.

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 Bell's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
