Public Input Given on Data Center Regulations

Published on March 06, 2026

The City of Tucson recently invited community members to participate in public meetings to provide input on proposed new regulations for large-scale data centers. These meetings were intended to present considerations for a potential amendment to the Unified Development Code (UDC) to establish standards and regulations for this land use. The proposed code amendment was initiated by Mayor and Council during their August 6, 2025, Study Session, when it directed City staff to develop regulations for large-scale data centers.

Four public meetings were offered for the community to learn more about the proposed regulatory framework and share feedback. You can watch the first meeting below.

More information is isavailable on the City's Data Centers Unified Development Code Amendment Website. Additional information on the proposed code change and background information is also available on that page.
