The agenda item defines “Data Center (General)” as “a facility, building, or campus used primarily for the housing of computer systems, servers, and associated equipment for the storage, pr[ocessing]” of data, according to the agenda text. The document also includes unrelated development standards, including a reference to cul-de-sac design requiring a maximum of 400 average daily trips and a minimum length of 150 feet.
