Park City honors Hiltner, names Cross to maintenance role
Park City commissioners approved an amendment to the city's zoning ordinance to include definitions for data centers, requiring any future data center proposals to go through a standard approval process. This update ensures compliance with state statutes regarding manufactured homes and addresses the growing conversation around data centers.
Park City's city commissioners approved an amendment to the city's zoning ordinance, as presented by Planning and Zoning Director Kevin Myatt. The amendment primarily updates language concerning manufactured homes to comply with state statutes and, significantly, introduces a definition for data centers into the ordinance. Myatt noted that this change ensures any future data center proposals in Park City will undergo a standard local approval process, addressing the increasing discussion around such facilities. The commission's action provides a regulatory framework for potential data center development within the city's jurisdiction.
The approval was part of a broader meeting that also addressed other city matters, including filling a maintenance position, planning a memorial for a former employee, and discussing future city projects like an amphitheater. While the data center aspect was a smaller part of the agenda, its inclusion in the zoning updates marks a proactive step by the city to define how such developments will be managed going forward.
