Scope
Union Township Ordinance No. 5915 amends Chapter 170-1209, "Prohibited Uses," to add "AI Data Center" and amends Chapter 170-201, "Definitions," to define an AI data center as defined in N.J.S.A. 34:18-395. The ordinance caption states that it prohibits AI data centers in all zoning districts. It applies only in the Township of Union in Union County, and it covers AI data centers as that statute defines them.

Summary
The Union Township Committee in Union County introduced Ordinance No. 5915 on 12 May 2026, and the copy read is marked passed and approved on 9 June 2026. The ordinance adds "AI Data Center," as defined in N.J.S.A. 34:18-395, to the township's list of prohibited uses, and its caption says it prohibits AI data centers in all zoning districts. It takes effect upon adoption and publication under New Jersey law; the publication date is not printed, so whether it has taken effect is not verified. It states no end date.
What this does not establish
- The copy read is the ordinance file posted on the township's online code publisher (ecode360), not a page on the township's own website; its text layer has character errors, such as "Al" for "AI".
- The ordinance relies on the definition of an AI data center in N.J.S.A. 34:18-395, which was not read; facilities outside that definition may not be covered.
- The publication date is not printed, so no effective day is stored.
- This is the Township of Union in Union County, not Union Township in Hunterdon County.
Unresolved questions
- When the ordinance was published and took effect.
- How N.J.S.A. 34:18-395 defines an AI data center.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
