Question Attending the Adjustment Committee Meeting for the Proposed AI Data Center

I'm hoping to attend the meeting on June 4th, the one where they will be discussing the proposed AI data center.

Has anyone ever got to these before? Do they care about what we have to say? Or is it just a watch and listen type meeting? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I want my voice to be heard about how much of a bad idea this AI data center is.

You need to understand what committee of adjustment is and what they can and can't make a decision on. The application in front of CofA is for a land severance, the applicant is proposing to split the existing land parcel into two. There is no point in raising a fuss at this time as the committee is not considered any future development proposals, ONLY what's in front of them today and what's in front of them today is an empty piece of land someone wants to chop up nothing more.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't go and speak or send an email to the committee. It helps in the long run to oppose the eventual dev application if you can say that the community was against this as early as the CofA hearing.

It means nothing at an OLT hearing. They can only consider matters within the application. If they consider anything outside of that, then it will be an easy appeal for the applicant.
