City of Coppell | 09-17-2026

The City of Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission met on September 17, 2026, to review several land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions focused on proposed text amendments to the city’s development code, specifically introducing special use permit (SUP) requirements for data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities within the light industrial district. These amendments aim to provide the city council discretionary authority to regulate such uses, addressing concerns about community impact, power consumption, noise, and infrastructure demands. The commission discussed definitions, performance metrics related to power and cooling, and the need for ongoing monitoring due to evolving technology. Additionally, the commission approved a replat of a residential lot to create a legal building site. The commission voted unanimously to approve the text amendments with additional considerations for performance metrics and regulatory clarity. The meeting also included updates on recent city council actions and the kickoff of the 2040 comprehensive master plan with consultant Kimley Horn.
