Section 1. The Osage Beach City Code Chapter 405, Article VI, is hereby amended to include a new
Article VI-B Data Centers to read as follows:
Article VI-B Data Centers
Section 405.587: Data Centers and Definitions
A. Definitions. As used in this Article, the following words shall have the definitions set forth
below:
Colocation Facility: A third-party data center where businesses rent space, power, cooling, and
physical security to house their own servers and networking hardware.
Data Center: A facility used primarily for the storage, management, processing, and transmission
of digital data and that houses computer or network equipment, systems, servers, appliances, and
other associated components related to digital data storage, processing, and related operations.
Data center uses include data storage facilities, server farms, artificial intelligence training or
processing, image processing, cloud computing, email servicing, and similar uses. A Data Center
may be a primary or secondary use. A Data Center also includes a colocation facility.
Backup Generators: Engines that are designed to be used for utility power outages to provide
continuous electricity, preventing data loss, and service disruption.
Baseline noise level: A measure of noise, taken at the property line pre-application, that
establishes dBA and dBC noise levels averaged over a 60-minute measurement period.
Measurements shall include daytime levels (e.g., taken between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.,) and
nighttime levels (i.e., taken between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.).

250,000, and Maximum Power Demand of more than 5 megawatts but less than 30 megawatts.
B. “Purpose”. The Data Center regulations are established to promote the health, safety, and
general welfare of the citizens, visitors, and businesses of the City. This Section is intended to
govern and provide locations within the City of Osage Beach where Data Center Facilities can
successfully provide their intended services to the public while maintaining the standard of life
to which citizens and visitors of Osage Beach have become accustomed.
C. "Data Center Facilities". This use will only be permitted as indicated in the following Use Table.
The table designates how each type of data center is regulated in the existing zoning districts
and whether the use is Permitted (P), prohibited (NA), or requires a Special Use Permit (SUP)
approved by the Board of Aldermen. As a condition of approval, the Board of Aldermen may
require the applicant to enter into a Public Impact Agreement addressing mitigation measures,
infrastructure improvements, utility impacts, emergency services coordination, and other
public welfare concerns.

Data Centers must be located in the appropriate zone for data center size and have a Special Use
Permit approved by the Board of Aldermen. All proposed Data Center or Colocation Facilities must
show that they will not negatively affect adjacent and surrounding properties by means of being
noxious or offensive by reason of vibration, noise, odor, dust, smoke, gas, light, or glare. Data
Centers must also meet the following requirements:
Page 7 of 21
A. Dimensional Standards.
1. The dimensional standards of data centers and data center accessory uses shall be in
accordance with existing standards in Section 405.430 of the Osage Beach City Code.
2. Standard and Major Data Centers, measured from their outer walls, must be a minimum of
one thousand (1,000) feet from any property containing a religious institution, elementary
or secondary school, or child daycare facility. Micro Data Centers must have a minimum of
one hundred (100) feet clearance from any property containing a religious institution,
elementary or secondary school, or child daycare facility.
3. Standard and Major Data Centers, measured from their outer walls, must be a minimum of
one thousand (1,000) feet from any property that is zoned residential or contains a
previously established residential dwelling. Micro Data Centers must have a minimum of
one hundred (100) feet clearance from any property that is zoned residential or contains a
previously established residential dwelling. This includes properties zoned “A-1” that
contain a previously established residential use and properties zoned “C-1” that have an
established residential dwelling or have been approved for a Special Use Permit for a
residential use in a commercial zone.
B. Aesthetic Standards.
1. The Data Center shall minimize the impact of lighting and aesthetics on surrounding
properties. The Data Center shall not be visible from a public roadway. This may be done
through natural topography, landscaping, fencing, berming, building placement, or a
combination thereof.
a. The applicant will submit plans for aesthetics, lighting, and landscaping that will
demonstrate that the facility will meet this requirement and assure mitigation of
sound, lighting, and visual impact to surrounding properties, as required by this
section.
b. All setback requirements, landscape requirements, and lighting restrictions,
established for each individual facility with the approval of the required Special Use
Permit, will be required to be in place prior to operation of the facility being approved
by the City.
C. Noise and Vibration Mitigation:
1. The Data Center shall minimize the impact of sound on surrounding properties. The
applicant shall demonstrate through a sound study conducted by a professional
acoustical expert that the sound expected to be generated by the data center and/or
data center accessory uses during normal operations will not exceed a maximum
daytime decibel level of 80 dB and a maximum nighttime and weekend decibel level of
70 dB as measured from the property line of the use. Such sound study shall be
Page 8 of 21
conducted using sound level meters described in ANSI S1.4-2014 and generally
accepted methodology.
2. A sound study shall be conducted at the following phases:
a. A preliminary study shall be conducted as part of the Special Use Permit process.
The preliminary sound study shall include recommended sound reducing materials
or systems as needed to meet the required sound limits.
b. An interim sound study shall be conducted during the building permit approval
process based upon the proposed user or users of the data center and data center
accessory uses depicted on the building plans. Any sound reducing materials or
systems recommended by interim sound study shall be incorporated into the
construction plans for the use.
c. An as-built sound study shall be conducted six months after issuance of the
certificate of occupancy. An as-built sound study may also be required thereafter by
the City. If it is determined by the as-built sound study that there is a violation of the
required noise limits, it shall be considered a violation of this chapter and corrected
as directed by the zoning official.
3. Maximum decibel levels specified herein shall not apply during times of power outage;
however the required sound studies shall also evaluate and report anticipated decibel
levels when all emergency power generation equipment is running, including backup
generators.
4. The applicant shall provide a vibration study prepared by a qualified professional that
demonstrates that no vibration from the data center, data center accessory uses, or
associated equipment will adversely affect surrounding properties.

continued any noise that can be heard within the limits of this City, which when
measured from a distance of fifty (50) feet or more from the property line that exceeds
eighty (80) decibels on an A-weighted scale during the hours of 7:01 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
or that measures seventy (70) decibels during the hours of 10:01 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Failure to maintain compliance with the approved noise limits shall constitute grounds
for suspension or revocation of the Special Use Permit.
D. Water Usage:
1. The Data Center shall minimize the impact on the water supply and wastewater disposal
systems. This requirement is intended to prevent water waste or contamination. No water
or wastewater from the required and approved cooling system will be discharged into Lake
of the Ozarks. The applicant will submit plans demonstrating that the facility will use a
closed-loop, non-water evaporative cooling system or other cooling system designed to
minimize water consumption.
Page 9 of 21
a. If the use will be served by a public water supply, the applicant shall submit
documentation from the public authority certifying that there is an adequate supply
of water for the proposed use and that the public authority will supply the water
needed.
b. If the use is to rely upon nonpublic sources of water, the applicant shall provide a
water feasibility study to establish that there is an adequate supply of water for the
proposed use and to estimate the impact of the use on existing wells, groundwater,
and surface waters in the vicinity. No data center shall be approved unless the
water feasibility study demonstrates that the anticipated water supply yield is
adequate for the project and that the proposed water withdrawals and discharges
will not endanger or adversely affect the quantity or quality of groundwater supplies
or surface waters in the vicinity. The water feasibility study shall include the
following information at a minimum:
i. The projected water demands of the data center;
ii. The source of water to be used;
iii. A description of how water will be used, including the amount or proportion of
water to be used for each purpose;
iv. The long-term safe yield of the water source;
v. A description of the amount or portion of water withdrawn that will be recycled or
discharged and by what means;
vi. A geologic map of the area with a radius of at least one mile from the site;
vii. The location of all existing and proposed wells within 1,000 feet of the property
boundary, with a notation of the capacity of all high-yield wells;
viii. The location of all surface waters, including perennial and intermittent streams,
rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, wetlands, springs, natural seeps, and estuaries,
within 1,000 feet of the property boundary;
ix. A determination of the effects of the proposed water supply system on the
quantity and quality of water in nearby wells, surface waters, and the
groundwater table; and
x. A statement of the qualifications and the signature of the person preparing the
study.
2. The applicant shall demonstrate that adequate means of wastewater disposal,
including domestic wastewater and wastewater used for cooling or industrial purposes,
have been provided and approved by the City and Missouri Department of Natural
Resources.
Page 10 of 21
E. Energy Consumption:
1. The Data Center shall minimize the impact on energy consumption and the electric grid.
The applicant shall demonstrate through an energy consumption and electric grid
impact study that it meets the requirements of this section.
a. If the applicant proposes to connect the data center to the electric grid, the
applicant shall provide documentation from the applicable electric service provider
certifying that the necessary capacity is available and that the electric service
provider will serve the data center. Known impacts on electric rates or availability
for other uses directly attributable to the data center project shall be noted.
b. Any energy generation system designed or used to supply power directly to a data
center during normal operations, including solar, wind, fossil fuel, or nuclear energy
generating systems, shall not be considered part of the data center use. Such
systems shall be considered a separate use and shall be approved according to the
zoning regulations applicable to such use.
F. Transportation:
1. The Data Center shall minimize the impact on the City’s infrastructure. The applicant
shall demonstrate through a transportation impact study that the data center will not
create a higher-than-average burden on the infrastructure. If the study shows that the
current infrastructure is insufficient then the applicant will submit plans for the
required transportation infrastructure improvements.
G. Parking For Data Center:
1. Parking for Data Center or Colocation Facilities will be governed by the provisions of
Chapter 405 Article IX “Off Street Parking and Loading Requirements”.
H. Signage For Data Center:
1. Signage for Data Center or Colocation Facilities will be governed by the provisions of
Chapter 405 Article V “Signs”.
I. Sustained compliance with the established requirements of the Special Use Permit will be

of the facility, as approved, ceases. A performance bond for 125% of the engineer’s estimate
must be submitted prior to any Site Development or Building Permits for the facility being
issued by the City of Osage Beach or other service providing agencies.
E. Additional requirements may be established for each request for a Data Center by the
Planning Commission or Board of Aldermen, depending on location or situation, during the
Special Use Permit review and approval process.
F. The Board of Aldermen may deny a request for a Special Use Permit under this section if
substantial evidence demonstrates that the proposed facility would adversely affect public
health, safety, welfare, infrastructure capacity, utility service reliability, environmental
resources, or adjacent property values.
Section 2. Severability
The chapter, sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this ordinance are
severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this ordinance shall be
declared unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by the valid judgment or decree of any Court of any
competent jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining

been enacted by the Board of Aldermen without the incorporation in this ordinance of any such
unconstitutional or invalid phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section.
Section 3. Repeal of ordinances not to affect liabilities, etc.
Whenever any part of this ordinance shall be repealed or modified, either expressly or by
implication, by a subsequent ordinance, that part of the ordinance thus repealed or modified, shall
continue in force until the subsequent ordinance repealing or modifying the ordinance shall go into

or penalty instituted, created, given, secured or accrued under this ordinance previous to its repeal
shall be affected, released or discharged but may be prosecuted, enjoined and recovered as fully
as if this ordinance or provisions had continued in force, unless it shall be therein otherwise
expressly provided.

PLANNING COMMISSION
Hearing Date: June 9, 2026 Case Number: none
Action: Addition to Article VI Additional Zoning District Regulations
Article VI-B Data Center and Colocation Facilities
Section 405.587: Data Center and Colocation Facilities.
Analysis:
This is the initial draft document addressing the regulation of Data Center and Colocation
Facilities within the Cooperate City Limits of Osage Beach. The regulations were written in
answer to the concern shown by the citizens of Osage Beach, pertaining to the possible location
of this type of facility within the City.
This ordinance draft was reviewed by the previous City Attorney prior to him leaving at which
time he gave the document his approval.
Since the last meeting, the City’s contract attorney has made recommended changes and
additions to the code that was previously brought to the Planning Commission. Because they
would likely be the party defending the City if there was litigation caused by this ordinance, it
is best to make sure they are comfortable with what they would be defending. Because of this,
I recommend approval as amended.

Hearing Date: July 14, 2026 Case Number: none
Action: Addition to Article VI Additional Zoning District Regulations
Section 405.430: Minimum Dimensional Requirements
Analysis:
This is an ordinance amendment that is an effort to provide better definition to our setback
regulations to make them more understandable for the public. The changes also differentiate
between and provide more definition to the differing types of streets within the community and
how the City wants to regulate development on the properties that front them. I would like to
replace the red struck through text below with the red text on the following page.
D. Setback Requirements.
1. Minimum yard requirements shall be measured from property lines except as
provided for below.
2. The minimum front yard setback in all zoning districts is twenty-five (25) feet as
measured from the property line. As provided for below, front yard setback
requirements may be greater or lesser depending upon the classification and location
of abutting streets.
3. Arterial Streets (KK, Route D, Highway 42, Highway 54). No building or structure
may be permitted closer than seventy-five (75) feet from the right-of-way centerline.
4. Collector Streets (State Designated Lake Roads). No building or structure may be
permitted closer than fifty-five (55) feet from the pavement centerline.
5. Local Streets. No building or structure may be permitted closer than forty-five (45)
feet from the pavement centerline except on corner lots platted prior to May 10,
1984, where a local street adjoins the lot on two (2) sides. For these lots the
secondary frontage shall be considered a side yard of one-half (1/2) the required
front yard or twelve and one-half (12 1/2) feet for a typical twenty-five (25) feet
front yard setback.
