NOTICE

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 5367, KNOWN AS THE MEMPHIS AND SHELBY COUNTY UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, TO ESTABLISH REGULATIONS FOR THE SITING, INITIAL DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION, EXPANSION, ALTERATION, AND OPERATION OF LARGE-SCALE DATA CENTERS; ESTABLISHING DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS; PROHIBITING ROUTINE EVAPORATIVE AND ONCE-THROUGH COOLING; REQUIRING CLOSED-LOOP WATER-CIRCULATION SYSTEMS; PROHIBITING MAJOR WITHDRAWALS OF LOCAL WATER RESOURCES FOR DATA CENTER COOLING; REQUIRING WATER CONSERVATION AND MONITORING; REQUIRING PROGRESSIVE USE OF RENEWABLE AND NON-CARBON ELECTRICITY; ESTABLISHING A SCHEDULE FOR THE PHASE-OUT OF CARBON-BASED ELECTRICITY; ESTABLISHING REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPANSION OF EXISTING DATA CENTERS; PROVIDING FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, REPORTING, ENFORCEMENT, PENALTIES, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO.

WHEREAS, the City Council of Memphis recognizes that large-scale data centers can require substantial amounts of electricity, water, land, electrical infrastructure, cooling infrastructure, and other public resources; and

WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes its responsibility to protect the health, safety, welfare, environmental quality, water resources, neighborhoods, infrastructure, and long-term economic interests of the residents of Memphis; and

WHEREAS, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation recognizes that local governments may address data center siting, zoning, land-use compatibility, noise, and local infrastructure matters through local governmental processes; and

WHEREAS, the City of Memphis possesses authority to regulate land uses and zoning within the City pursuant to applicable Tennessee law and the Memphis and Shelby County Unified Development Code; and

WHEREAS, the Memphis and Shelby County Unified Development Code was adopted by Ordinance No. 5367 and has been amended from time to time by the City Council; and

WHEREAS, the Memphis City Council has determined that data center development should be subject to standards appropriate to the scale and intensity of the use; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the protection of water resources is a legitimate public purpose and that cooling technologies that continuously circulate water in closed systems can substantially reduce water consumption; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that routine evaporative cooling can result in continuing consumption of water through evaporation and can place unnecessary demands upon municipal and regional water resources; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that data center electricity demand can be substantial and that increasing reliance upon renewable and non-carbon energy sources is in the public interest; and

WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the costs of electrical infrastructure required solely or primarily because of data center development should not be shifted to residential customers or unrelated commercial customers to the extent prohibited or regulated by Tennessee law; and

WHEREAS, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 5982 establishing a temporary moratorium on certain data center permits in order to provide time for the City to study and establish appropriate permanent development standards; and

WHEREAS, the City Council now determines that permanent standards governing water, energy, environmental sustainability, development, expansion, and infrastructure are necessary;
