The item is a text amendment to Title 8, Chapter 8 of the city’s zoning code that would establish data center regulations and related provisions for the Gillem District.
According to the agenda background provided by the Planning and Community Development Department, the City adopted a temporary measure on August 31, 2026, addressing the same subject matter. The Nov. 16 work session item is listed as consideration and approval of the text amendment that would formalize those regulations.
