Trappe council unanimously opens zoning review focused on data centers
Summary
Borough Manager Marcus Dolny presented Resolution 2026-17 to begin a municipal curative amendment review targeting data centers and other high-intensity uses; council approved the resolution 7'/0. The action initiates a formal planning process and future public meetings.
Borough Manager Marcus Dolny told the council that RESOLUTION 2026-17 would "allow for the initiation of a Municipal Curative Amendment Review, particularly focusing on Data Centers and other high intensity uses." The council voted 7'/0 to approve the resolution.
The resolution starts a formal zoning review process to consider changes intended to address and limit high-intensity land uses such as data centers. Manager Dolny and councilmembers did not set specific regulatory language at the meeting; advertising and public review will follow the municipal process. The vote was procedural and launches study, mapping and public-comment phases rather than immediate regulatory changes.
Next steps noted in the meeting include drafting the amendment language, scheduling public meetings, and seeking input from the Planning Commission and staff before any ordinance is introduced for adoption. No timetable or budget for the review was specified at the meeting.
