The rationale
If adopted, this effectively bans data centers city-wide pending a full rezoning process and layers on mandatory IDAs, self-funded infrastructure, and Council approval as prerequisites — any data center project in or near Corpus Christi must halt site-selection and entitlement planning until the moratorium and new UDC framework are resolved.
Corpus Christi City Council motion directing staff to (1) amend the UDC to define data centers as a distinct use and prohibit them in all zoning districts by default, (2) establish an ETJ/utility protection policy requiring IDAs and full self-funding of infrastructure before any city services or incentives are granted, and (3) initiate a temporary development moratorium process for data centers and similar high-intensity digital infrastructure uses.
