Planning Commission asks staff to draft data‑center zoning language given proximity to transmission lines
Summary
Commissioners discussed updating zoning regulations to ensure data centers would be subject to appropriate requirements if proposed; noting proximity to Wolverine Power Company transmission lines, the commission endorsed staff drafting an ordinance for the April meeting.
At the Feb. 10 meeting, the Planning Commission discussed updating the village zoning ordinance to address data centers and their applicable regulations. Commissioners noted that the village’s proximity to Wolverine Power Company transmission lines creates at least a small possibility the area could be considered for data‑center development. The commission endorsed directing staff to prepare a draft ordinance for review at the April meeting.
The meeting record does not include ordinance text or regulatory specifics; it reflects a directive to staff to research and draft appropriate ordinance language that would set standards and requirements should a data‑center proposal emerge. No vote on ordinance language or final policy was taken at this session.
