The Riverside City Council is scheduled to consider a discussion item on data centers during its Oct. 20, 2026 meeting, according to the published Legistar agenda. The item stems from a Land Use Committee recommendation following the council’s Oct. 13, 2026 meeting.
According to the agenda, the item is listed as item 38 under Bid Award Recommendation Presentation and is described as a 10-minute presentation applying to all wards. The agenda does not indicate that the council will take a vote on the matter at this meeting.
