Description
A data center proposal is in the city's zoning pipeline, and the Environment Board wants answers about its energy, water, noise, and zoning implications before it advances. The board voted to send questions to staff and the Land Use Commission and to urge a council moratorium on future data center approvals.
Impact summary
A large data center could strain the local power grid and water supply and bring noise and emissions; the board wants a real environmental review before anything gets approved.
