The San Marcos City Council had several items on the agenda related to a future data center in San Marcos requested by Armbrust & Brown, PLLC, on behalf of Highlander SM One, LLC, and Donald and Germaine Tuff at Tuesday’s regularly scheduled meeting. The applicant requested a Preferred Scenario Map change from Conservation Cluster to Commercial/Employment Low, which is a type of Light Industrial zoning, for 199.49 acres of land generally located on the western side of Francis Harris Lane south of where it intersects with Grant Harris Road. The item was only up for discussion at this meeting, so the Preferred Scenario amendment was neither approved or denied. He also requested approval of a provision of services for a proposed annexation of 53.57 acres of that same land, which was approved five to two with San Marcos City Council Members Amanda Rodriguez and Alyssa Garza casting the dissenting votes.
John Mayberry, who represented the applicant, wanted to be clear that he has no affiliation with the data center that has been reported to come to San Marcos by other news sources.
“We have no affiliation with Cloudburst. That is not us,” Mayberry said. “We have nothing to do with them or Energy Transfer at all.”
