Online commenter Britney Anderson asked the board why residents must accept uncertainty about a proposed data center ordinance and cited Parametrics' review recommending stronger groundwater testing, independent technical review, and public disclosure of full electricity and water build-out numbers. She noted planning-department estimates ranging from 500,000–700,000 gallons per day per phase later reduced to 40,000 gpd and asked why enforceable permit limits have not been set.
