Brandon's zoning ordinance does not mention data centers, and in every district a use that is not listed is prohibited unless the city's Authorized Official finds it sufficiently similar to a listed use. The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed data centers on November 5, 2026, and its minutes state that the current ordinance does not have a use that would allow a data center to be built; no draft ordinance has been presented.
