Public hearing set on ordinance that would prohibit data centers in town
Summary
Commissioners put a public hearing on Ordinance 861-26 on the June 22 agenda to consider prohibiting data centers inside town limits; staff said the planning commission reviewed the draft and raised no objection and Harford County is holding a similar hearing the next day.
The Bel Air South commissioners confirmed that the June 22 meeting will include a public hearing on Ordinance 861-26, a proposed ban on data centers within town limits.
A staff member summarized the ordinance and said the planning commission “took no exception” to the language. Commissioners noted Harford County has scheduled a similar public hearing the following day. One commissioner asked whether the ordinance would affect small server rooms in office buildings; staff indicated typical small server rooms or on-site server closets would not be the target of the prohibition.
The chair invited any additional discussion and moved on to other agenda items. The public hearing is scheduled as part of the upcoming meeting agenda so residents may speak when the ordinance is read at that hearing.
