Summary

Staff described two new industrial shell buildings and a small data-center-style project using outdoor server pods; staff said the site can use CEC power and that "Meta is actually gonna lease" one of the small centers, though operation and power allocations are not yet finalized.

Staff reported two industrial shell buildings are planned on a hill and described a separate small data-center project that will use outdoor "poly cloud pods" for servers; the site is in the IP zone and still requires buildings, parking and landscaping.

Staff said the data-site developer prefers to tap CEC power to avoid Pacific Power because CEC is cheaper, and staff said they believe at least one of the small data centers is likely to be leased. "I think Meta is actually gonna lease it," the staff member said, but added the building was not yet operational and that power allocation remains to be completed.
