From the meeting
On first reading, the council considered a 12-month moratorium on large-scale data centers and then directed staff to research water use, electricity demand, setbacks, buffering, noise standards, fire protection, emergency response, fiber installation, and other impacts. The item was also reframed toward a possible complete ban on data centers of 50 megawatts or more. This is an open policy and infrastructure planning signal, not a procurement award.
