GILBERT, AZ — Gilbert is the latest Valley city to consider data center regulations even as the demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure grows.
The town is requesting an amendment to its Land Development Code to establish development standards for data centers, which addresses water, power, sound, lighting and design. The Gilbert Planning Commission will consider recommending approval of the amendment to the Town Council at its Aug. 5 meeting.

"Ensuring that the LDC reflects contemporary industry practices allows the Town to proactively manage impacts, provide clarity to applicants and support development objectives.”
