The Linn County Planning and Zoning Commission will convene to discuss new regulations for data center projects, including building setbacks, noise limits, and traffic impacts, in response to ongoing construction of facilities by Google and QTS. Proposed requirements include water studies, economic development agreements, and new zoning rules for gas-fired power plants, which would require a minimum distance of 2.25 miles from residential areas. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.
