Summary
The board authorized the solicitor to draft zoning ordinance language addressing data centers, distribution centers, truck terminals, solar farms and wind farms and noted drafts will go to the Planning Commission for review.
Chairman Meanor opened discussion about updating township ordinances to address modern land uses. The board directed Solicitor Mueller to prepare draft zoning language for data centers, distribution centers, truck terminals, and solar and wind farms; Solicitor Mueller noted this is a zoning matter that the Planning Commission would review and provide recommendations.
Commissioner Johnson suggested two commissioners should be involved in the drafting process. The motion to direct the solicitor to begin drafting the zoning ordinance language carried unanimously. No specific regulatory standards or zoning districts were provided at the meeting; the Planning Commission review and public-advertisement steps were described as the next phases.
