KSHB reported that Peculiar's aldermen reversed an earlier zoning change on Monday, October 21, by removing the data-center definition from the ordinance. Residents of Peculiar and neighboring Raymore had mobilized against the multi-building proposal, including with signs opposing hyperscale data centers. The source was published October 22; the event date is the preceding Monday. The report supports a large/hyperscale community dispute but does not establish an AI-specific tenant or workload. The action concerned zoning permission, not closure of an operating center.
