I stre RIV r ge thr lands, in to dite bem ic rusia urie anaero o eor e r er., hyperscale data-center district.
Item 8.1 uses an Addendum to the San José Data Center EIR prepared for a 99 MW project, while Item 8.2 advances a 159-acre, multi-substation, 250 MW+ hyperscale data center district.
By approving Microsoft's easements and oversized utilities today—without including the full 159-acre development in the environmental analysis-the City could be found unlawfully segmenting a single, unified project into smaller approvals.
CEQA requires environmental review of the whole of the action, including all reasonably foreseeable consequences (14 CCR § 15378). A lead agency may not segment or "piecemeal" related components of a single project to avoid full environmental disclosure (Tuolumne County Citizens for Responsible Growth v. City of Sonora, 2007).
