Data Centers

The town's zoning regulation defines data center, establishes where they are permitted, and outlines use-specific standards and requirements. The regulation allows data centers in the Watershed Interchange district, provided they obtain a special use permit and meet the required conditions. Data centers must adhere to specific standards that address, building design and size, setbacks, height, sound analysis, backup generator tests, noise monitoring, site plan and landscaping, review processes, and potential pre-application meetings (§4.10.C.4).
