City Council tabled a rezoning vote in March 2026 amid resident anger over an 80-acre expansion; a March 12, 2026 company town hall drew Forest Hill/Kennedale residents citing water use, pollution, communication failures, noise, and traffic. A Change.org petition ("Stop the Data Center Next to Our Historic Gardens") tracked ZC-25-205 being moved to June 9. Zoning Commission recommended approval unanimously on April 8, 2026.
Key data: Council vote tabled March 2026; Zoning Commission unanimous recommendation 2026-04-08; ZC-25-205 hearing set 2026-01-14 (Commission) / 2026-02-10 (Council)

Fort Worth had already rezoned **over 450 acres of agricultural land** to light industrial for this campus before Black Mountain sought another 80 acres. The ZC-25-205 application itself converts 38.39 acres currently zoned "B" Two-Family Residential and "AG" Agricultural, described as "Vacant and agricultural," to PD/I Light Industrial. No agricultural-impact mitigation requirement is referenced anywhere in the case file.
Key data: >450 acres agricultural rezoned; ZC-25-205 = 38.39 acres from AG/"B" to PD/I; no mitigation requirement
Status date: 2026-02-10 (Council hearing date on case)
Limitation: Texas has no state agricultural-impact mitigation agreement program analogous to Illinois'; none was found in searches.
