Plano residents could expect to see the construction of a new data center in west Plano following a recommendation of approval from the planning and zoning commission.
What happened
At their July 21 meeting, Planning and Zoning commissioners approved a preliminary site plan for the data center.
As part of the request, commissioners approved a 20% parking reduction, as the data center will require fewer on-site employees compared to other facilities of similar size.
The details
The proposed facility is owned by Stack Infrastructure, a digital infrastructure company, and would be its third data center at the site, according to the company’s website.
The center will be 363,000 square feet and is expected to have approximately 48 full-time employees, according to city documents.
Additionally, the facility will have a 48-megawatt capacity, according to the website.
