Planning Commission hearing Nov. 4 and commissioners' hearing Nov. 18 on a PUD rezoning that would allow data centers, energy generation and other industrial uses; staff says the site's water is capped at 184.7 acre-feet a year
Notes: The applicant says the data center would use closed-loop cooling filled with deionized water trucked in from outside the county. Six written comments opposed it as of Oct. 26, mostly over water. The rezoning would not approve construction.
