Oldmans Committee introduces ordinance banning data centers; refers review to Planning Board
Summary
Ordinance 2026-09, which would prohibit data centers and related facilities in all zoning districts, was introduced May 13 and referred to the Planning Board for review; a public hearing is set for June 10, 2026. The Committee also authorized preparing an RFP for redevelopment counsel.
On May 13 the Oldmans Township Committee introduced Ordinance 2026-09, "An Ordinance Prohibiting Data Centers and Related Facilities in All Zoning Districts," and scheduled a public hearing for the ordinance at the June 10, 2026 regular meeting.
The motion to introduce the ordinance was made by Committee member William Ferrell III and seconded by John Pomponi; the roll call vote for introduction was unanimous. Later in the meeting, following an executive session, the Committee adopted Resolution 2026-82 to refer Ordinance 2026-09 to the Planning Board for review.
The Committee also moved after executive session to authorize preparation of a Request for Professional Services for a Redevelopment RFP Solicitor (adopted by roll call as Resolution 2026-80). The meeting record shows unanimous votes on both the RFP authorization and the Planning Board referral. The transcript does not provide details about the candidate pool, fees, or timeline for the RFP, nor does it specify proposed ordinance text beyond the stated prohibition; those details would be part of subsequent materials and Planning Board review.
A public hearing on the ordinance will allow residents to comment at the June 10 meeting; the Committee did not take final ordinance action on May 13.
