MEMORANDUM David Schofield, Director of Public Works dschofield@menomonie-wi.gov 715-232-2221 Ext.1020 1 TO: Mayor Knaack & City Council FROM: David Schofield, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance 2026-01, an Ordinance amending portions of Title 10 of the City Code with respect to warehouse definition, data center definition and creation of Data Center Industrial (I-4) District DATE: January 5, 2026 City Council Meeting City Code 10-1-4 includes a definition for “Warehousing” that includes “establishments used primarily for the storage, management, processing, and transmission of digital data, which houses computer or network equipment, systems, servers, appliances, and other associated components related to digital data storage and operations”. “Warehousing” is then included as a permitted use in Restricted Industrial (I-1) and Restricted Industrial 2 (I-2) districts. I have attached existing City Code sections. Based upon feedback from the community and elected officials it is clear that additional discussion should occur regarding the appropriate level of regulation of data centers. One method of doing so is the creation of a new Data Center Industrial District (I-4), which can be refined with additional opportunities for public input. To this end, City Staff, with assistance from Atty. Larry Konopacki of Stafford Rosenbaum, LLP , have prepared Proposed Ordinance 2026-01 which: 1. Amends the definition of “Warehousing” to eliminate data centers. 2. Creates a definition for “Data Center”. 3. Creates a new Data Center Industrial District (I-4). To be clear: • No lands are currently zoned Data Center Industrial (I-4) District. • Any modification of the Data Center Industrial (I-4) District would require public notice, public hearings and City Council action. • Any rezoning of lands to the Data Center Industrial (I-4) District would require public notice, public hearings and City Council action.

A public hearing will be held during the City Council meeting. The public hearing notice was published in the newspaper as a Class 2 public notice on December 17 and December 24, 2025. A copy of the public hearing notice is attached. If the City Council concurs with Proposed Ordinance 2026-01, the following motions would be appropriate: • Waive the first reading of Proposed Ordinance 2026-01, an Ordinance amending portions of Title 10 of the City Code with respect to warehouse definition, data center definition and creation of Data Center Industrial (I-4) District (simple majority). • Waive the second reading of Proposed Ordinance 2026-01, an Ordinance amending portions of Title 10 of the City Code with respect to warehouse definition, data center definition and creation of Data Center Industrial (I-4) District (simple majority). • Adopt Proposed Ordinance 2026-01, an Ordinance amending portions of Title 10 of the City Code with respect to warehouse definition, data center definition and creation of Data Center Industrial (I-4) District (roll call vote, super majority).

In 2017, Act 317 modified State Code to prohibit such inspections except in certain limited circumstances. The City followed suit and modified City Code 9-2 to provide only Voluntary Inspections (requested by owner) or Complaint-Based Inspections (requested by tenant). The Ad Hoc Housing Committee has been investigating ways to improve residential rental unit conditions. One method involves establishing a Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement District and requiring Proactive Rental Inspections on a regular basis therein, which is allowed by Act 317 as long as there is evidence of at least one of the following: blight, high rates of building code complaints or violations, deteriorating property values, and/or increases in single family home conversions. The Ad Hoc Housing Committee recommended changes to City Code 9-2 Residential Rental Properties. The major proposed changes include: • Add Proactive Rental Inspections within designated Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement Districts. • Define Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement District #1. • Add Rent Abatement if confirmed Habitability Violations are found during a Complaint- Based or Proactive Rental Inspection and not corrected within 30 days. • Add Retaliation Protections. The Ad Hoc Committee proposed Neighborhood Stabilization and Enhancement District #1 in a neighborhood southeast of the University of Wisconsin – Stout campus. A map of proposed NSED #1, overlaid over the residential rental units, building code complaints and single-family home conversions, is attached. The Ad Hoc Housing Committee, with assistance from City Staff and Atty. Ludeman, prepared Proposed Ordinance 2026-02 to affect these changes. On December 9, 2025, the Ad Hoc Housing Committee recommended Proposed Ordinance 2026-02 to the City Council.
