The North Little Rock City Council is preparing to review a new ordinance aimed at implementing restrictions on data center developments within the city. The proposed regulations, scheduled for consideration at Monday's meeting, would impose a mandatory 2,000-foot setback, preventing data center campuses from being built within that distance of any residential use or zoning district. This measurement would be calculated from property line to property line, defining specific zones where data center construction would be prohibited.
