Resident asks supervisors whether township zoning covers data centers

Slippery Rock Township Board of Supervisors · June 22, 2026

Summary

During public comment at the June 22 meeting, resident Jim West asked about development of data centers; minutes note the Zoning Ordinance has no explicit listing and that Chapter 27, 104.D allows the Zoning Hearing Board to consider unlisted uses in the I-1 district.

A resident asked the Slippery Rock supervisors whether the township's zoning addresses the development of data centers, drawing attention to a gap the board may need to clarify.

Jim West raised the question during the public comment portion of the June 22 meeting. The minutes state there is "nothing in the Zoning Ordinance regarding data centers" and cite Zoning Ordinance — Chapter 27, 104.D, which treats unlisted land uses and gives the Zoning Hearing Board authority to permit or deny a proposed use as a special exception in the I-1 Light Industrial District. The board did not take formal action at the meeting and did not adopt an ordinance; the exchange was recorded as an inquiry for potential follow-up.
