Summary

Chair Fanny Gonzalez said the committee will align definitions between the moratorium and an afternoon zoning text amendment in PHP at 1:30 p.m., then combine items for full council consideration on Tuesday, July 28.

Chair Fanny Gonzalez explained the committee’s process: definitions of 'data center' must match between the Economic Development Committee’s moratorium and the zoning text amendment (ZTA) scheduled for the afternoon. The chair said the Planning, Housing and Parks committee will take up the ZTA at 1:30 p.m. in the same room, and the full council will consider the ZTA first and the moratorium immediately afterward on Tuesday, July 28.

Members agreed that synchronizing definitions across committees and the full council is essential to avoid inconsistent regulatory outcomes. Staff and the sponsor will consolidate amendments into a single bill for full council consideration.
