What's on this agenda

Holly Springs' Land Use Advisory Committee holds the fourth meeting of its data center study Tuesday afternoon. The town's Utilities and Infrastructure department presents on the water, wastewater and environmental side of data centers, including the town's existing and future capacity. No action is requested. The council adopted a moratorium of up to 12 months on data center applications on 16 June, and this committee is drafting the recommendations for new zoning rules.

The packet attaches the town's online survey results for 25 August to 28 September: 68 participants, 286 responses and 51 comments, most of them opposed to data centers in town over water, power costs and noise. It also carries state wildlife commission guidance and a School of Government article on data center zoning. The committee approves its 1 September minutes, which record staff and council members telling Longleaf Industrial that a 208,520-square-foot speculative warehouse on Friendship Road does not fit the town's Innovation Village plan.
