Residents ask Brisbane to agendize regulations on data centers and e‑commerce
Summary
Multiple residents told the council on June 4 they want a public discussion and potential ordinances to address data centers and e‑commerce facilities; councilmembers indicated staff could bring the item back as early as July 16 or at the second July meeting.
Three speakers during oral communications urged the council to place discussion of data centers and e‑commerce regulations on a future agenda.
Karen Latham asked the council to agendize ordinances to address data centers and e‑commerce so the community can proactively decide policy rather than react to individual projects. Chris Evers said Prologis and broader e‑commerce impacts prompted his concern and requested a prompt public forum so residents can understand where council and staff stand. Resident Michael Barnes said he supported council member Davis’s earlier request to agendize the issue.
Staff told the council the next available meeting slot for a substantive agenda item is likely the second July meeting (July 16) but offered to work with the mayor and vice mayor to move items if council wanted an earlier hearing.
No formal action or ordinance was adopted; councilmembers asked staff to schedule follow‑up and confirm whether the item can be added to upcoming agendas.
