2026-06-15 (City Council)

The City of Lewisville City Council held a meeting on June 15, 2026, which included a detailed workshop and regular session. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing updates to building and fire codes, including new regulations related to electric vehicle charging, battery storage, and fire safety measures. The council also addressed a proposed ordinance to amend the Unified Development Code to define data centers and require a special use permit (SUP) for new or expanded data centers. This ordinance aims to regulate the operational impacts of data centers, particularly concerning water and energy consumption, noise, and environmental effects. Public comments included support for the ordinance as a proactive measure to manage resource use and community impact, as well as concerns about grandfathering existing data centers and setting thresholds for SUP requirements. The council discussed potential criteria for SUP evaluations, such as utility impact studies and monitoring resource usage. Additionally, the council approved the issuance of $42 million in waterworks and sewer system revenue refunding and improvement bonds and made multiple appointments to city boards, commissions, and committees. The meeting concluded with community reports and announcements of upcoming events.
