Planning committee explores adding conditional-use language for data centers

Dylan Lauck, presenting the Planning Committee report, said the Village Administrator is working on adding language to the zoning code to define "Data-Centers" and to list them as a Conditional-Use rather than a Principal-Use, "to protect our village and let the village decide what direction it wants to go if such business finds our village appealing to want to locate here." The change would permit council or planning authorities to evaluate data-center proposals individually and impose conditions if approved.
