奥斯汀提议数据中心监管时间表：12月3日审议商业规则，分区改动排至2027年春
德克萨斯州特拉维斯县奥斯汀市市府工作人员提议分两步推进数据中心监管：市议会于12月3日审议数据中心商业规则，并可能同时审议土地开发法规中的数据中心定义；土地用途与分区改动则安排在2027年4月或5月审议。
这一时间表载于市府工作人员10月28日提交给市长与市议会的备忘录，是对市议会8月27日决议的回应。工作人员表示，定义将按数据中心的规模、功能与基础设施需求制定，并处理分阶段扩建的情形。
备忘录指出，截至9月30日，奥斯汀能源公司已收到13个潜在数据中心项目的容量咨询，每个项目需求至少20兆瓦，但没有一个已准备好签署设施扩建协议。工作人员提醒，许多咨询属投机性质、部分选址位于奥斯汀市界之外，咨询数量不等于13个已批准的建设项目。奥斯汀水务部门则在另外制定针对高用水量用户的框架，包括节水计划、预算与报告要求。上述时间表目前仅为提议，尚未成为已通过的新限制措施。

Austin Proposes Data Center Rule Timetable: Business Rules on December 3, Zoning Changes in Spring 2027
City staff in Austin, Travis County, Texas, are proposing a two-stage timetable for data center regulation: the City Council would consider business rules for data centers, and possibly a Land Development Code definition, on December 3, with land-use and zoning changes slated for April or May 2027.
The timetable appears in an October 28 memorandum from staff to the mayor and council, responding to an August 27 council resolution. Staff said definitions would be based on size, function and infrastructure needs, including how to address incremental development.
Austin Energy had received 13 capacity inquiries for potential data centers seeking at least 20 megawatts as of September 30, but none was ready to sign a Facilities Extension Agreement. Staff cautioned that many inquiries are speculative and some sites lie outside Austin's city limits, so the inquiries do not represent 13 approved construction projects. Austin Water is separately developing a framework for high-impact water users, including conservation plans, budgets and reporting requirements. The schedule is a proposal, not an adoption of new restrictions.
