The decision trail

  1. Applicant withdraws

    HMC StratCap’s letter cites the moratorium and planned prohibition as unsuitable conditions for development.

  2. City adopts prohibition

    Ordinance 2278 removes independent data-center uses; the city’s later ballot information confirms the voter-adopted ban.

  3. Measure NDC goes to voters; prohibition adopted

    The city placed Measure NDC on the June 2 ballot and subsequently confirmed the voter-adopted citywide prohibition. The Saturn Street application had already been withdrawn.
