THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Planning Commission advanced a new Data Center Ordinance, limiting data centers to Industrial and Mining zones and imposing strict design, noise, power, and buffering standards. It requires environmental and community impact analyses, buried power lines, fencing, and detailed site planning. This signals the city is preparing for potential data center proposals and wants robust technical documentation and impact studies. IT operators, site selectors, engineers, and environmental consultants can help prospective projects meet these criteria.
Ordinance will amend Chapter 156 zoning to add data centers as special land uses with Section 156.202 and 156.204 criteria.

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.
