The action supports a proposed borough ordinance that would prevent large-scale data centers from operating as a primary use anywhere in Madison. The discussion cited potential demands on electricity and water, as well as concerns about noise, paved areas, and neighborhood character; the minutes do not state that the ordinance was finally enacted. The Board also approved the revised Angelica Properties project at 213–215 Main Street, which includes an affordable housing unit and no longer requires a building-height variance.
