The proposed rules would limit where data centers could be built near residential and open or recreational zoning districts, schools, and churches. The Commission also discussed data center impacts involving backup-generator emissions, water use, cooling systems, noise, waste, and floodplain development, but it did not adopt final regulations at this meeting. A formal public hearing will provide an opportunity for comments on the final draft.
