Zydeco Development had requested the city rezone a parcel of land to allow for 'heavy industrial' development for its proposed data center.
The developer of a proposed data center in Hutto has withdrawn its rezoning application with the city, effectively ceasing the project. Zydeco Development had requested the city rezone a parcel of land to allow for"heavy industrial" development for its proposed data center .
The site, located on Ed Schmidt Boulevard, is currently zoned for"multi-family residential" development. Zydeco's request would have required the city to change both its future land use map and comprehensive plan. "Our comprehensive plan reflects the community's vision for how Hutto should grow, and that vision guides how we evaluate every item that comes before us," Koontz said."As submitted, this proposal was not consistent with that vision. Thoughtful planning is a priority for the city, and we remain open to continued dialogue." Several community members also opposed Zydeco's rezoning request, raising concerns about noise, impacts on the local power grid and possible long-term risks associated with having a data center near residential neighborhoods. Organizing through a Facebook group called"Stop the Hutto Data Center," these community members had been working to file a formal protest within the Texas Local Government Code against Zydeco and its rezoning request. If that protest was successful, Zydeco's application would have required a three-fourths supermajority vote from the Hutto City Council to move forward, rather than the usual simple majority. "This is what happens when neighbors work together and get organized," said Katie Martin, co-organizer of the group, in an email to KUT."We will continue to be vigilant so that no other developer tries something like this in the future. We also hope to share what we’ve learned with other communities facing similar challenges. But for now, we are celebrating the success of our efforts!"that Texas could have more data centers than anywhere in the world by 2030, and state lawmakers look to be gearing up to tackle the topic during the 2027 legislative session.
