3 issues in zoning with high priority
Proposed Data Center Ordinance
Township officials are drafting rules governing where and how data centers can operate, as large facilities draw interest across the region. The rules could affect noise, power use, and future development patterns.
Norwin Soccer Club Light Pollution
New rules would require outdoor lighting to be shielded and pointed down, cap light levels at property lines, and let the township check compliance with a light meter.
Ridge Road rezoning for denser housing
A 25-acre vacant parcel along Ridge Road could shift from R-4 (large lots) to R-2 (smaller lots, denser housing). Neighbors worry about a high-pressure gas pipeline, a dangerous intersection, stormwater runoff and sewer capacity. Planners recommended it 5-2; commissioners decide after a July 9 hearing.
