AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TALTY, TEXAS, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 99-08, THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TALTY, TEXAS, TO AMEND SECTION 2.22 ("SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS") TO ADD PRO...

DATA CENTER REGULATION ORDINANCE APPROVED & Related info 09/16/2026 ADDED 9-16- The anticipated ordinance on data centers within the City was unanimously approved by the city council last night. The following is the ordinance's caption. Please contact staff for more details. ORDINANCE NO. 2026-04 An ORDINANCE of the City of Talty, texas, amending ORDINANCE NO. 99-08, the comprehensive zoning ORDINANCE of the City of Talty, texas, to amend section 2.22 ("supplemental regulations") to add provisions relating to DATA centers; amending the zoning use chart adopted by section 2.21 of the comprehensive zoning ORDINANCE to add DATA centers as A permissible use by conditional use permit; providing A repealing clause; providing A severability clause; providing A penalty of fine not to exceed the sum of two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars for each offense; and, providing an effective date. Original info- Flexential announced plans to build a new 110 acre data center campus in the Talty area. It will be located just north of the Forney ISD learning academy and off the southern corner of Helms Trail and FM 1641. Plans indicate a three-building, 108 MW total capacity development. The first phase will deliver 36 MW of capacity across 375,000 square feet, targeted for completion by late 2028. The Talty facility will incorporate environmentally responsible, high-efficiency power systems and closed-loop cooling architecture to reduce energy consumption per megawatt of IT load. It will be designed with a target water usage effectiveness (WUE) of zero, preserving local resources and building on Flexential's proven approach to efficient, sustainable data center design. Utility power will reach the site through a phased ramp-up to avoid potential strain on the local grid. The data center campus will deliver colocation, cloud, interconnection, data protection, and professional services through the FlexAnywhere(R) Platform. Customers will be able to connect to Flexential's nationwide private network backbone and reach major public cloud providers, carriers, and enterprise environments, extending the low-latency connectivity and workload placement options that define the company's Dallas presence into a purpose-built, high-density environment. Though next to its city limits, Talty has no regulatory authority over the area. Zoning use standards and subdivision regulations only apply to area within a city or its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). This area was once in Talty's ETJ, but municipal authority had been incrementally diminished by state legislation. Last year, the City was presented with a petition seeking to have the area released from the Talty ETJ. Though not approved by the city council, current law allows ownership to file an ETJ release after a set period of time when a municipality fails to grant approval. This ETJ release was filed with Kaufman County in February.
