Old Municipal Center Site Development. The City's Economic Development Authority (EDA) and Council are in the process considering the future development of the "Old Municipal Center Site." The City is considering two general development scenarios for the 20.5 acre site: (A) data center development and (B) residential development. Today, the Old Municipal Center Site is zoned Public /Quasi Public. On Tuesday, June 12 the Council considered submitting an application to the Planning Commission to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan to allow for its future reuse. The Council decided to re- engage surrounding property owners regarding the old municipal center site development before submitting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment application to the Planning Commission; for either type of use. Staff is in the process of developing proposals for a study group to analyze a potential data center development. Said proposals will be brought to the Council for consideration in early July.
