## How close could a data center be to your home?

The case for 500 feet

## A minimum setback of 500 feet mitigates potential harm to thousands more residents while preserving viable industrial sites.

Raising the setback to 500 ft leaves — compliant data-center sites in Johnson City — concentrated in the city's heavy-industrial corridors. Raising it to 1,000 ft leaves —. A setback increase protects thousands of residents without eliminating site viability.

Homes within… | …of a possible DC at 200 ft (proposed) | …at 500 ft | …at 1,000 ft
--- | --- | --- | ---

Numbers in the 500 ft and 1,000 ft columns show how many homes would remain within that distance of any possible data-center site if the city tightened the setback. Lower = better.
