From the meeting
The public hearing covered a zoning text amendment that would add definitions for data centers, data center campuses, and power generating facilities and classify them as conditional uses. No city purchase is shown, but the policy change signals future site-selection and infrastructure demand. Sellers should read this as a land-use trigger for large energy and digital infrastructure projects.
The hearing was set for October 6, 2026.
