Data infrastructure facilities and data centers are permitted only in the CI Commercial and Industrial Zoning District, rather than in other Borough zoning districts.

Facilities must comply with the CI District's lot size, lot coverage, building height, setback, and yard requirements.

For parking purposes, a data infrastructure facility is subject to the parking requirements applicable to manufacturing, warehouse, wholesale, or truck-terminal uses.

Rooftop mechanical and electrical equipment may exceed the height limit by no more than 10 feet and must be fully screened and set back as required.

Ground-mounted equipment, including generators, transformers, switchgear, and chillers, must be screened from public streets with opaque fencing, walls, or evergreen landscaping.

Data infrastructure accessory uses and structures must be located on the same tract, or on adjacent parcels assembled and developed as one unified development, as the data infrastructure facility.

On-site generation may serve the data center, but any excess power exported to the grid is subject to utility and regulatory approval.

All generation equipment must comply with Borough noise, setback, and screening standards.

Data center operations, including routine generator testing, must meet Borough noise standards at the property line.

Routine generator testing is limited to Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except during emergencies or when required by a utility mandate.

Before a building permit is issued, an applicant must provide evidence of adequate utility capacity or a will-serve letter.

Development must comply with the current Clarion County stormwater management ordinance.

The facility must undergo the Borough's building-permit process and County land-development review and approvals.

If facility operations cease for 12 consecutive months, the owner must secure the site and either remove on-site fuel and battery systems or place them in compliant safe-storage status.

The ordinance does not take effect until five days after enactment.
