Data Centers

The city's code of ordinances mandates where data centers are permitted and establishes evaluation criteria and use-specific regulations. Data centers are permitted with a special use permit in the general industrial district (§154.071.B.1).  Data centers will be evaluated on their impacts on nearby land uses, the proposed structure, parking demand, traffic generation, utility demand, noise produced, site design, signage plan, and compliance with design guidelines and other criteria for the special use permit (§154.071.A.2). The ordinance requires data centers to meet specific design guidelines and application requirements (§154.071.B, §154.071.C).
