01 / The recorded outcome

What happened

The City’s February 17, 2026 recap identifies a roughly 199.49-acre tract on the western side of the 900 block of Francis Harris Lane and Ordinance 2026-04, which would have changed its preferred scenario from Conservation/Cluster to Commercial/Employment Low S1. Council denied that amendment 5–2 and did not hear or act on companion zoning case ZC-25-13 S1. A June 2026 city recap separately describes a citywide code amendment prohibiting data centers, a later action rather than the February parcel decision S2.

The boundary of the finding

  • Source is an official City recap, not reproduced signed minutes or adopted instrument.
  • The February vote does not itself adjudicate water or grid impacts.

Latest cited status: February 2026 parcel map request denied; later June citywide code change separately reported; no later parcel entitlement verified.

One property. A dated record. A clearer next move.
