The Benbrook City Council is scheduled to consider an ordinance amending the city’s zoning code to separately define and regulate data centers, according to the published agenda for the Oct. 15, 2026 meeting.
The item, listed on the agenda as PZ-2026-10, would establish data centers as a distinct land-use category apart from other industrial uses, according to the agenda. The proposed ordinance would require a conditional use permit before any data center development could proceed, and would designate the City Council as the final authority on such approvals, according to the published agenda.
The matter is relevant to Benbrook residents because it would change how future data center projects are reviewed and approved within city limits, according to the agenda text.
