The Upper Chichester Township Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that would amend the township’s zoning code to permit data centers and related facilities in designated districts. The measure would revise Chapter 600 to add definitions for data centers, accessory uses and substations, and establish detailed regulations allowing such uses as conditional in both the I-Industrial and Township Line Commercial zoning districts, including additional standards specific to industrial areas. Officials said the ordinance is intended to guide the development and operation of data centers while setting conditions for their approval. The board may take a vote following public comment at the hearing. The meeting will be held Wednesday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. at the township building, 8500 Furey Road.
