Recommendation:

As part of the development of uniform standards and best practices for

these projects. These may include, but are not limited to, public space

improvements, clean energy programs, labor standards, local hiring and

work-force development opportunities, affordable housing, and

opportunities to generate additional use tax revenue.

2. Evaluate a possible mechanism for investment of a portion of tax

revenue generated by data centers within a nexus area around data

center sites.

3. Evaluate architectural and site design standards for data centers and

other large-load projects, including, but not limited to, building design,

visual impacts, green roofing, solar panels, and integration with

surrounding uses.

4. Upon adoption of San Jose's standards, evaluate and return to the

Council with an assessment of whether any projects in the pipeline

would not be considered compliant under the new standards and

negotiate with them over possible changes that would improve their

implementation.
