Planning Commission Meeting | Aug. 17, 2026

The Town of Christiansburg Planning Commission held a meeting on August 17, 2026, primarily to discuss a proposed amendment to the town zoning code regarding data centers. Currently, data centers are allowed by right in the General Industrial (I-2) zoning district. The proposed amendment would require a conditional use permit for data centers in this district, allowing the town to impose conditions addressing noise, traffic, setbacks, and buffering to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. The Planning Commission unanimously voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this code amendment to the Town Council. The Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on September 8, 2026, and take final action on September 22, 2026. No other procurement or contract-related matters were discussed during the meeting.
