The Berkley City Council is scheduled to consider the first reading of a zoning ordinance amendment related to data centers at its regular meeting on Nov. 16, 2026, according to the published agenda posted on the city’s CivicClerk portal.
The proposed amendment would modify Chapter 138 (Zoning) of the City of Berkley Code of Ordinances. According to the agenda, the measure would amend Section 2.02 (Definitions) and Section 6.03.C (Use Groups), add a new Section 8.23 specifically addressing Data Centers, and amend Section 14.04.Q governing Off-Street Parking Requirements.
This matters to Berkley residents because the amendment would establish, for the first time in the city’s zoning code, a defined use category for data centers, along with associated parking standards. The agenda item is listed as a first reading, which is a procedural step in the city’s ordinance adoption process.
