Planning commission to devote June 2 meeting to proposed data center zoning amendment
Summary
Planning staff presented a timeline on May 21 for a curative amendment to the Zoning Ordinance concerning data center regulations and said the commission will use its June 2 meeting to discuss minimum separation requirements with maps provided by staff.
At the May 21 meeting, Planning Director John Weller presented a timeline for a proposed curative amendment to the Zoning Ordinance addressing data center regulations. Weller said the schedule is based on the 180‑day period established by the Municipalities Planning Code for curative amendments and that staff will provide maps to assist discussion about minimum separation requirements.
Weller told the commission there are no plans scheduled for review at the June 2 meeting, so the commission agreed to devote that meeting to the amendment discussion. Commissioner Priyanka Gupta said she will be unable to attend the June 2 meeting.
Why it matters: a curative amendment could change where and how data centers are allowed in the township and would proceed through the formal municipal amendment process described in state law.
Next steps: staff will prepare maps and supporting materials for the June 2 session, at which the commission will review proposed separation standards and other draft language before any formal referral or public‑hearing steps.
