Easton, MD Planning Commission to Discuss New Data Center Zoning Category Oct. 15

The Easton Planning Commission is scheduled to consider a discussion item on proposed changes to the Town of Easton Zoning Ordinance that would create a new “Data Center Use” classification, according to the published agenda for its Oct. 15, 2026 meeting.

The agenda item describes a discussion regarding the creation of supplemental standards associated with the proposed Data Center Use category, according to the agenda. The meeting agenda also includes approval of the draft decision summary from the Sept. 17, 2026 meeting, according to the published agenda.

The matter is relevant to Easton residents because it concerns how the town’s zoning code would define and regulate data center facilities, a land use category not currently addressed as a standalone classification in the ordinance, according to the agenda.
