The proposed hyperscale AI data center near homes and Rancho Medanos Middle School dominated the meeting. Phase 1 entitlements were approved in 2024-2026, but residents packed the chamber demanding a moratorium, while building trades unions urged the council to proceed. The council can still shape monitoring, community benefits and future phases through pending agreements.
