Data center prohibition (Chapters 33 and 35)
Description
Final passage of the ordinance banning data centers as a permitted use in all zoning districts. Three previously approved data center permissions survive under the ordinance's savings clause, and any such project would still need Planning Board site plan approval.
Impact summary
Closes the door on new data centers citywide, but three already-approved permissions remain a live issue residents want addressed with water, noise, and environmental rules.
