Waterville Township is racing against time to finalize new zoning rules that could pave the way for data centers, creating a new M-3 classification and tweaking M-1/M-2 zones — all before a looming one-year moratorium ends. While current conditional permits allow data centers in agricultural areas, the proposed changes would make zoning changes legislative, potentially triggering public votes. Legal concerns have surfaced, including questions from the county prosecutor, but township attorneys stand by the draft. Residents worry about costly lawsuits and suggest embedding conditions directly into existing zoning instead of creating a new category. Key unresolved issues include setbacks from homes and schools, cryptocurrency bans, and wastewater rules — especially tricky without a sanitary sewer system. The Zoning Commission awaits legal feedback before scheduling a public hearing and trustee vote, while officials confirm no conflicts of interest exist. Balancing economic opportunity with community and legal realities remains the core challenge. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
