Mississauga Council has approved a motion to establish a temporary Hyperscale Data Centre Task Force as the city reviews its policies and regulations governing major digital infrastructure facilities.<\/p>\n
The task force follows Council\u2019s approval of an Interim Control By-law on Sept. 16 that paused the processing of new and existing applications for major digital infrastructure facilities for up to one year.<\/p>\n
The pause allows city staff to undertake a comprehensive review of planning policies, zoning regulations and development approval processes related to data centres.<\/p>\n
The proposed task force will provide a forum for regular updates and stakeholder input during the review. It will include members of Council, city planning staff, industry stakeholders and citizen members.<\/p>\n
Members will receive updates on the city\u2019s review and have opportunities to provide feedback. The task force is also intended to support public transparency and reporting throughout the process.<\/p>\n
Any recommendations resulting from the review will be brought to Council for consideration. The task force will be dissolved once the review is complete and Council has considered the recommendations.<\/p>\n
The interim control by-law applies to major digital infrastructure facilities while the review is underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Ontario Construction News staff writer Mississauga Council has approved a motion to establish a temporary Hyperscale Data…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":926450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194297],"tags":[49,48,55405],"class_list":["post-926449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mississauga","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mississauga"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=926449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=926449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=926449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=926449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
