Council bans data centers as permitted uses in zoning code
Summary
Ordinance 2623, which amends township zoning to redefine data centers and remove them as permitted uses across several commercial districts, was adopted unanimously after previous meetings and public discussion; no public speakers addressed the ordinance at the hearing.
The Township Council adopted Ordinance 2623 to change the zoning code's definition of "data centers" and remove data centers as a permitted use in CI, LCI and COR zoning districts as well as prohibit them in all districts. Council members said the item had been discussed extensively at prior meetings and described it as "self-explanatory."
The public hearing drew no speakers and the council passed the ordinance by unanimous roll call. Council President Smith noted the item had been discussed at length in prior sessions and that the ordinance aligns the zoning code with local policy preferences about data-center development.
