EASTON, MARYLAND — Easton's Planning Commission will discuss proposed changes to the town's zoning ordinance that would create a data center use and set supplemental standards for it, at its meeting Thursday, Oct. 15, at 1 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Easton Town Office, 14 S. Harrison Street.

A named use in a zoning code is the category that sets where that kind of business may locate. Supplemental standards are extra conditions attached to one use on top of a district's general rules. The posted agenda does not list draft text, zoning districts, a site or an applicant.

The data center item is the only discussion item on the agenda. It is listed as a discussion, and the agenda does not list a vote or a recommendation to the Town Council. The agenda also lists approval of the draft decision summary from the commission's Sept. 17 meeting.

The commission meets at 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, at 14 S. Harrison Street.
