The Garden City Planning Commission is scheduled to meet Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, to discuss proposed zoning ordinance amendments related to data centers, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item, listed under “Business/Discussion Items,” calls for commission discussion of amendments addressing two areas: data centers and modifications to the Central Business District (CBD) District, according to the published agenda.
