Board reviews Data Center Ordinance; manager says zoning penalties will apply for decommissioning timeline
Summary
Commissioner Halbert praised the draft Data Center Ordinance and asked about penalties for failing to meet decommissioning timelines. Manager Jason M. Bobst said zoning penalties under the Zoning Code will apply; the draft will go to County and Township planning commissions, be advertised in June, and could be considered for adoption in July.
Commissioner Halbert described the proposed Data Center Ordinance as "impressive and comprehensive" and asked what penalty would apply if a data center failed to meet the decommissioning timeline. Manager Jason M. Bobst replied that the zoning penalties in the Township's Zoning Code would prevail for enforcement.
Mr. Bobst said staff will send the draft to the County and Township planning commissions for review, advertise it in June and that the Board could consider adoption in July. No formal vote took place at the work session; the item will return through the required review and advertising process before a final decision.
