The proposal would create a process for reviewing data centers individually, with development standards intended to limit impacts on nearby properties and City resources. Staff will revise the draft based on Council feedback, including requests for clearer setback and floor-area calculations. A summary of potential changes is expected at the next Council meeting, with a draft ordinance possibly considered at the second April meeting.
