Developers appeal Pocatello’s denial of proposed AI data center

Developers Lex Developments LLC and Gus Schultz are appealing the City of Pocatello's denial of a Conditional Use Permit for a proposed AI data center. The denial followed a contentious public hearing where residents raised concerns about water usage, leading the Hearing Examiner to cite the project's potential detriment to public welfare. The appeal argues procedural errors, prior industrial zoning approvals for the site, and that the denial was arbitrary and unjust.
