What: Whether Eugene's code should clearly address data centers, which are currently not allowed under a decades-old interpretation of the code, and whether the Sustainability Commission should form a committee on the topic.
Where it stands: Council has a work session on data centers in December. The Commission's FY27 work plan lists a potential committee, to be revisited in January.
Next: Review the December Council work session at the January Commission meeting.
The Commission discussed whether to keep a potential data center committee in its work plan after the City Manager asked that the language wait for Council direction. Members kept it as a potential item. Any committee would need a voted proposal and Council consent approval.
