From the meeting
At its October 19, 2026 meeting, the council extended the city's data center moratorium for 10 months and 15 days, through September 20, 2027. Staff said the city was studying permanent rules on land use, zoning, utility allocation, environmental review, and performance standards for data centers. The written report said a permanent prohibition was scheduled for the Planning Commission on November 10, 2026 and then the council on December 7, 2026.
This is a policy signal that the city is shaping the market before any future data center entitlement work.

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.
