The Planning Commission will consider amending Piedmont’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to remove the “Potential Industrial” designation from the southwest corridor (SW Cimmaron Rd to SW Cemetery Rd and SW Washington St to SW Edmond Rd) and reassign that industrial potential to the northwest corridor (NW Cimmaron to NW Cemetery and NW Moffat to 1½ miles north of Azalea St NW). This strategic land use change is scheduled as item PZ#2026‑002 for public hearing and action at the June 1, 2026 meeting. It appears coordinated with multiple industrial PUDs and data center proposals also on the agenda, indicating a deliberate industrial siting strategy.For vendors, this shift signals where future industrial and technology‑related projects—including large data centers—are likely to cluster and where near‑term infrastructure planning and capital investments will focus. Firms specializing in industrial park master‑planning, utility corridor design, traffic and access planning, and economic development strategy can engage with city leadership to help translate the FLUM into a prioritized capital improvement program, infrastructure financing approaches, and marketing materials to attract target employers to the newly designated northwest corridor.

The FLUM change aligns with contemporaneous PUD applications for industrial data centers, suggesting the city is formalizing a broader industrial and technology district in the northwest area.
