The Fort Worth Zoning Commission is moving forward with efforts to address concerns about data centers. Community concerns have been raised regarding noise, water use, and the impact on nearby neighborhoods. The commission is discussing proposed regulations that aim to balance economic benefits with public concerns.

These regulations include standards for data centers, such as setbacks from residential areas and requirements for landscaping and screening. Further details on the proposed zoning amendments are available, including specific requirements for generators, cooling equipment, and lighting near residential areas. The commission is set to hear public feedback on these proposals.
