County planners advise against adopting draft data-center standards; commission notes concerns
Summary
Commission was informed that York County Planning Commission recommended not adopting the draft data-center provisions, citing zoning limits on aesthetics and fire-apprentice requirements; the commission questioned whether the commercial sections were addressed.
During review of the SALDO draft, Andy Herrold relayed York County Planning Commission feedback specific to the draft data-center provisions, saying, "York County Planning Commission made the recommendation to not adopt. Reason one —6 it is not allowed to zone aesthetics. Reason two —6 related to fire apprentice requirements." The commission also noted a question about whether the commercial portion of the draft ordinance had been addressed.
The county-level recommendation does not, by itself, change township code; it signals areas county planners view as inconsistent with county or state practice and likely points toward subjects the township should clarify before formal adoption. The planning commission recorded the recommendation in its discussion as it prepares the draft for the Board of Supervisors' consideration.
