A mockup of planned boundaries for the Monarch data center in Lyon County. Monarch has submitted the Monarch Data Center Specific Plan, alongside the zone-change request, that spells out exactly what's allowed to be built. The zone change and the specific plan get approved together as one package. This zone change, which requires approval of a majority of Lyon County commissioners present, is Monarch's second hurdle. Whether a developer options land or buys it outright often depends on whether the site already carries the right zoning.
