Staff asks how to classify data centers in zoning code

Staff member opened the discussion by pointing committee members to a large packet of materials and asking what specific data they wanted to see, noting that "those are hard to find because businesses aren't required to report any of that information." The staff presentation framed the central question plainly: "I just wanna know how should we classify data centers?" The exchange set the agenda for the rest of the session: whether data centers belong in an existing storage category, should be treated as accessory uses in some cases, or should be sorted into new, impact-based classes.
