The New Braunfels City Council is scheduled to consider the second and final reading of Ordinance 26-1266 at a special meeting on Nov. 16, 2026, according to the published Legistar agenda. The ordinance would amend Chapter 144 of the City’s Code of Ordinances, related to data centers.
According to the agenda, the item is presented by Christopher J. Looney, AICP, Neighborhood and Community Planning Department Director. The agenda matters to residents because it governs how data center development is regulated under the city’s code of ordinances, a land-use category that affects local zoning and planning rules.
The same meeting agenda also includes a workshop item, listed as item 2A, to discuss and consider the appointment of four individuals, according to the published agenda. No further detail on that appointment item was included in the available agenda excerpt.
