The Easton Planning Commission is scheduled to meet on Oct. 15, 2026, to discuss proposed changes to the Town of Easton Zoning Ordinance that would create a new “Data Center Use” classification, according to the published agenda posted on the town’s CivicClerk portal.
The agenda item, listed as a discussion item, describes the proposal as changes “to create the Data Center Use, and to create supplemental standards” associated with that use category, according to the official agenda document. The agenda does not specify further details of the supplemental standards beyond this description.
The matter is relevant to residents because it concerns how the town’s zoning code would define and regulate data center facilities, a land-use category not previously codified under a specific classification in the ordinance, according to the agenda.
Prior to the data center discussion, the agenda lists approval of minutes and approval of the Draft Decision Summary from the commission’s Sept. 17, 2026 meeting as earlier agenda items, according to the published agenda.
