The Victoria City Council is set to hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance, focusing on new regulations for data centers and cryptocurrency mining. These amendments, which will be voted on following the hearing, include requirements for closed-loop cooling systems to prevent continuous use of the city's water supply and stipulations that such facilities be at least 500 feet from residential properties.
Additionally, the amendments aim to enhance definitions and restrict certain land uses, such as bus depots, in historic districts. The outcome could significantly impact local infrastructure and resource management.
