Planning commission schedules July 29 special meeting to finalize data‑center zoning text
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a draft data-center zoning amendment adapted from other municipalities, made editorial and scope notes (including whether on-site generation or substations should be included), and scheduled a special meeting for July 29 to advance the ordinance.
Toward the end of the meeting commissioners turned to a proposed zoning amendment to regulate data centers. Staff said they modeled much of the draft on another township's ordinance and removed provisions that the solicitor warned may be legally vulnerable. Commissioners debated whether to explicitly regulate on-site power generation or substations; staff said that will be considered in a later cleanup while the July 29 special meeting will focus on the data-center land-use text.
Commissioners asked staff to correct section references and invited colleagues to submit edits before the special meeting so the panel can consider a final recommendation. The special meeting was confirmed for Wednesday, July 29 at 7 p.m.
