Restrictions & requirementsHide restrictions & requirements1
A temporary moratorium bars new data center or “technical development” applications or development while the township reviews its zoning ordinance. Its duration is described as up to 180 days unless ended earlier, though another account says at least 180 days. PNK Group’s already-pending Great Stream Commons project is exempt and continues.
Benefits & exceptionsHide benefits & exceptions1
PNK Group’s pending data center application and ongoing development are exempt from the temporary moratorium, so the application can continue to be processed; exemption does not guarantee approval. The moratorium doesn’t include PNK Group’s pending data center application.
