From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, council approved second reading of Ordinance No. 21, creating an 18-month moratorium on new or expanded data center facilities and related land uses. The memo says the city will study utility capacity, water supply, environmental impacts, and land-use standards during the moratorium.
Staff will also watch 2027 state legislation and bring back proposed regulations before the moratorium expires on April 30, 2028.
