Clark council bans data centers as permitted zoning use across township

Township of Clark Council · August 17, 2026

Summary

Ordinance 2623 was adopted to redefine "data center" in the zoning code and to remove data centers as a permitted use in CI, LCI and COR zoning districts; the council said the item had been discussed in prior meetings and adopted unanimously.

The Township Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2623 on Aug. 17 to amend Chapter 195 (Zoning) and redefine data centers while prohibiting the use in all zoning districts. Officials said the measure removes data centers as a permitted use in CI, LCI and COR districts and will prevent new data-center developments across the municipality.

Council President Smith said the ordinance had been discussed at prior meetings and that the action codifies the council’s policy intent. No members of the public spoke during the hearing, and the roll call vote recorded unanimous support from the seven council members present.
