Columbia Borough Council Special Meeting
The Council held a special meeting to discuss draft ordinance 966, which concerns the regulation of data centers. The board and public participants debated proposed setbacks for these facilities, considering legal risks such as exclusionary zoning under Pennsylvania law. Discussions also covered the differentiation between light and general industrial zoning, the impact on surrounding residential areas or sensitive receptors, and whether specific parcel constraints could effectively limit development types without violating state regulations.
