Interim Zoning Controls for AI Data Centers (Urgency Ordinance No. 2491)

Montebello

Description

Not a private project but a citywide zoning action: a 45-day emergency moratorium on AI data centers, amended to cover all data centers, while staff develop permanent zoning standards.

Impact summary

Blocks any new data center proposals citywide for now, protecting neighborhoods from heavy power, water, and noise impacts while permanent rules are written.
