The City Council held a public hearing regarding a proposed six-month moratorium on major utility data centers. Staff presented on current zoning classifications, noting the distinction between minor and major utility data centers and the special use permit process for the latter. The presentation emphasized that the moratorium is intended to provide time to study and develop new regulations that address specific impacts like noise, heat, and infrastructure requirements, while remaining compliant with state laws, including downzoning restrictions. The council discussed the need to avoid being overbroad and to ensure future regulations do not negatively impact the city's status as a tech hub. Additionally, updates were provided on utility requirements, specifically regarding reclaimed water connections.
