# November 12, 2026 Planning Commission Meeting

The November 12, 2026 Planning Commission meeting focused primarily on proposed zoning regulations for data centers and amendments to the Central Business District zoning ordinance. Commissioners discussed applying the same application-submittal standards to both data center classes; adding setbacks and buffers near residential areas; requiring a water-use plan reviewed by a city-selected, applicant-paid third-party expert; and strengthening noise monitoring and enforcement, including possible suspension of a certificate of occupancy after repeated violations. The commission also discussed a proposed 70% maximum lot coverage. These data-center provisions remained under discussion, with no approval vote recorded. Staff reported that City Council had extended the data-center moratorium through April 2027. No contracts, purchases, or budget allocations were identified.

For the Central Business District amendments, commissioners discussed building-height limits of 60 feet for four stories and a possible fifth story up to 75 feet if set back 15 feet from the exterior wall along a public road, as well as fire-department access. The commission voted to hold a public hearing on the proposed CBD ordinance changes at its December meeting. Commissioners also discussed whether to make planned-development standards more specific and considered preparing an annual report and action plan; no related decisions were recorded.
