Quinton Planning Board recommends banning data centers in township land-use rules
Summary
The Quinton Township Planning Board approved Resolution No. 2026-13 recommending an ordinance amendment to list data centers as a prohibited use; the measure now goes to the township committee for consideration.
Solicitor William Horner presented Resolution No. 2026-13, which memorializes the planning board’s recommendation that township land‑use regulations be amended to list data centers as a prohibited use. Board member William Remster moved to adopt the resolution; Todd Boker seconded the motion. A roll‑call vote was held and the resolution was approved.
The resolution is a recommendation to the township committee; the transcript does not record the board’s formal reasoning for the prohibition or any accompanying text of an ordinance. The planning board’s action asks the governing body to consider amending the zoning/regulatory code. The next step is review by the township committee and any necessary ordinance drafting and public hearings before a ban could take effect.
The board did not record a vote tally by name in the minutes beyond stating a roll‑call vote was held and the resolution was approved.
