Commission hears updates on SALDO rewrite and coordination on data center zoning
Summary
Staff and consultant EPD are reviewing a comprehensive SALDO update; staff will meet with Upper Nazareth Township about shared zoning and a potential data center use, but no draft data center ordinance was available for review.
Lower Nazareth Township staff reported that a comprehensive update to the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) is under review by staff and consultant EPD; once the work is complete, a draft ordinance will be presented to the Planning Commission for consideration.
Commission staff also said they will meet with Upper Nazareth Township staff to discuss shared zoning and a possible data center use. There was no data center ordinance draft for the commission to review because it is possible the use may be taken by Upper Nazareth Township.
Why it matters: SALDO updates can alter subdivision standards, design requirements, and review procedures that affect future development. Coordination with neighboring Upper Nazareth on a data center use could align or shift zoning responsibility and criteria for large commercial/industrial uses.
