Local votes and rules
🗳️ Public vote
Residents turned in a petition with more than 1,400 signatures for a citizen ordinance that would pause data centers in Taylor until the city creates a special zoning district for them. City Council did not adopt it or put it on the ballot, saying Texas law does not let cities change zoning by popular vote. Council members said they will handle data centers through the city plan and development code instead.
