City Council to review data center zoning and land use policies at work session July 13
The St. Joseph City Council is set to review data center zoning and land use policies during a work session on July 13. This discussion follows a local landowner's withdrawal of rezoning requests for a proposed data center and public concerns raised by the Say NO to Data Centers St. Joe group.
The St. Joseph City Council has scheduled a work session for Monday, July 13, at 5 p.m. in City Hall to discuss and review existing data center zoning and land use policies. The decision to hold this session comes after a local landowner recently withdrew their rezoning and annexation requests for a proposed data center development located at 6321 Pickett Road.
Public sentiment, particularly from the group "Say NO to Data Centers St. Joe," influenced the council's decision. During a City Council meeting on July 6, citizens expressed their desire for a comprehensive review of zoning regulations pertinent to data centers in the city, leading to the upcoming policy discussion by councilmembers.
