The Sioux City Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to discuss potential regulations for data centers at a public meeting in City Hall. The city's current zoning ordinance does not include a land-use category specifically for data centers, and city staff will present issues that may need to be addressed.

After the initial discussion, staff are expected to draft an amendment for the commission's review at its Oct. 27 meeting. The commission is expected to make a recommendation to the Sioux City City Council in November, while residents can provide feedback at both meetings.
