3. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2026-13 ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY LAND USE REGULATION REGARDING DATA CENTER USES WHILE THE CITY EVALUATES APPROPRIATE LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS BACKGROUND: Data centers are facilities primarily used to house and operate computer servers and related data-processing infrastructure. Clearfield City Code does not currently define or specifically regulate data centers, which may have unique impacts related to electrical and water demand, cooling systems, wastewater, backup power, noise, fire protection, emergency response, and utility infrastructure. The City Council is considering a temporary land use regulation to allow time to evaluate these uses and determine whether permanent land use standards should be adopted.
