Council to continue talks on data-center delay and a definition for 'data center'
Summary
Council will revisit a temporary delay in allowing data center developments that it established June 14, and staff will present draft language and a proposed definition of "data center" for council review; members are expected to bring questions and topics for further consideration.
Assistant City Manager Pa Van Goldbeck said the council will continue discussions about data centers at the July 28 meeting. "At the last meeting, the June 14 meeting, the council voted to establish a temporary delay in allowing data center developments," Goldbeck said, adding that staff prepared language for that delay and a proposed definition of "data center" for council consideration.
Goldbeck said council members had asked staff to compile questions and topics to address the data-center conversation, and that those will be part of Tuesday's agenda. The preview did not specify the legal text of the proposed delay, the expected duration of the moratorium, or any geographic boundaries; those details were not provided in the podcast and should be verified in the staff report or ordinance language included with the packet.
The preview framed the item as continued policy deliberation rather than an action-ready ordinance; council members could choose to amend, extend, formalize, or allow the proposed language to lapse depending on subsequent discussion and any motions introduced during the meeting.
