PHP Committee to Review Hyperscale Data Center Zoning Amendment

Fani-González Jul 15, 2026
The Planning, Housing and Parks (PHP) Committee will meet on July 22, 2026, to review Data Center Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 26-01, which would establish clear definitions and limitations on data centers. An amendment put forth by Vice President Balcombe, Councilmember Sayles, and Council President Fani-González would prohibit hyperscale data centers in all zones. The measure is intended to serve as an interim bridge until a comprehensive ZTA addressing all related issues is developed.
