Planning committee to finalize standards and visit two data‑center sites before returning recommendations
Summary
Planning staff told commissioners the committee expects to finalize general standards this week and will visit two operational data centers (one large, one smaller) to test assumptions about noise, water and scale before settling size thresholds and environmental rules.
Planning staff told the commission it expects to finalize general standards and conduct site visits to two data centers so commissioners can compare operational differences before approving size or environmental thresholds.
Staff described plans to visit a large facility and a smaller bank‑scale installation to illustrate differences in generator noise, cooling and water/sewer capacity. "We have a meeting Wednesday ... we're finalizing the general standards in place. But we also have a visit the week after to a data center," staff said.
