Commission notes AI data center developments are covered under current zoning
Summary
At the April 30 meeting, a commissioner observed that the township's current Zoning Ordinance treats AI data center developments as permitted uses in the LI-Light Industrial district and that large facilities would also be subject to Land Development Plan review; commissioners took no further action.
Commissioner Steve Halmi raised the topic of AI data center developments during the West Mead Township Planning Commission meeting on April 30, 2026 and said the township's existing Zoning Ordinance specifically provides for such facilities as permitted uses in the LI (Light Industrial) district. He added that larger buildings would trigger Land Development Plan requirements under existing rules. The commission agreed no additional discussion or ordinance changes were necessary at this time.
The minutes record this as a brief informational exchange; no formal referral, ordinance amendment or motion resulted from the discussion.
