The Coppell City Council is scheduled to consider an ordinance amending zoning requirements for data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities at its meeting on Oct. 27, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item would amend Section 12-30-12, “LI Light Industrial,” to require Special Use Permits for “cryptocurrency mining facility” and “data center” uses, according to the agenda. The proposal would also amend Article 42, “Special Definitions,” to add formal definitions for both “cryptocurrency mining facility” and “data center,” and to remove existing language, according to the agenda record.
The matter is relevant to residents because it concerns how land zoned for light industrial use within the city may be developed for these specific facility types going forward, per the agenda.
