Development
BY SHANNON WEST
A proposed data center project operated by CyrusOne, also known as Maberry, on Francis Harris Lane will not move forward after San Marcos City Council denied a request related to a preferred scenario map, which would have allowed for a zoning change from multifamily to light industrial. Without the preferred scenario map change, the project is at a standstill. The meeting included hours of public comment related to the data center, with those in favor of the data center citing more jobs, a higher tax base, and less water usage. Those opposed also cited water usage, as well as the center’s potential negative impacts on wildlife and humans. Data center project halted
What else?
Three data centers are proposed in the San Marcos area • Status: Annexed • Status: Postponed CyrusOne data center
Sabey data center • Status: A development agreement application was under review at press time.
A supermajority vote, six out of seven, was required to pass the item because it was initially denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 25. Place 6 Council Member Amanda Rodriguez and Place 2 Council Member Saul Gonzales voted against the preferred scenario map change. Also during the meeting, council approved the first reading of a 65- acre annexation for the property. The other 135 acres are already annexed. The annexation does not take effect until after a second reading at city council, which was set for Sept. 2; however, officials announced Aug. 28 that the reading was postponed by the applicant.
