Board finds ordinance banning data centers consistent with borough master plan
Summary
The Planning Board voted to send a letter to mayor and council saying Ordinance 2026-12 (prohibiting data centers) is consistent with East Rutherford's Master Plan and recommended no additional changes.
Board attorney James Novello told members that, with the board's consent, he would send a letter to the mayor and council stating that Ordinance 2026-12, which would prohibit data centers, is consistent with the borough master plan. "Ordinance 2026-12 is consistent with the Borough's Master Plan," Novello said on the record, and the board voted to send that letter with no additional recommendations.
Chairman Carmen Polifronio called for the motion and the board recorded the approval by roll call. The action was framed as a master-plan consistency review rather than adoption of the ordinance itself; any change to the ordinance would still require separate action by the mayor and council.
