New Haven Planning Commission · August 7, 2026

Summary

Commission agreed to a special workshop at 7 p.m. on Aug. 12 to review a draft data‑center zoning ordinance that incorporates fire‑department and village‑engineer revisions; staff and legal counsel will produce a fuller package for detailed review.

The planning commission discussed a draft data‑center zoning ordinance that staff said compiles revisions from the fire department and the village engineer. Members said legal review and a fuller packet are needed before substantive decisions and set a special workshop for August 12 at 7 p.m. to continue the conversation.

Commission members and counsel emphasized the need to align the draft with current law and to present a consolidated, reviewed package. The scheduling vote sets a dedicated meeting for technical review rather than resolving the ordinance at this session.
