The committee voted to recommend a temporary pause on new or expanded data centers while the City adopts a new definition and work plan; this means applications for establishing, expanding, or changing use to data centers would be put on hold if the Council approves the bill. The committee also recommended extending an existing contract rezone for a development at 5201 Rainier Avenue South, which preserves that project's agreed zoning and timeline. Councilmembers discussed but did not finalize changes to rules that clarify how the City Council handles land use decisions.
