Project Background
With data centers being a newer type of development, we are studying how they might affect people, communities, and local resources and considering whether the County should create new rules to regulate data centers.
As directed by the Board of Supervisors, we will look at possible impacts and explore ways to reduce them. This may include options such as:
Standards for locating and developing future data centers
Measures to address electricity and water use by data centers
Our findings will be presented in a report. The report will be summarized in a memo for the Board for their information only. If the Board decides to take further action after reading the memo, a separate public hearing would be required.
The County is seeking input from residents and local partners to ensure the options we explore to reduce potential impacts reflect community needs.
