B-I Zone Warehouse Ordinance

Supported the draft ordinance, praising stricter warehouse size limits (under 150,000 sq ft), the one-mile I-287 restriction, loading dock standards, and noise rules, and urged adoption as written.

Opposed continued warehousing, calling the road network dangerous and urging new roads, a capacity analysis, and a master plan before approval; warned against 'segmentation' of warehouse approvals.

Commended the transparency of the B-I study and praised data center removal and operating-hour limits, but asked about the interior access road definition, scenic roadway frontage, and how the 16 failing intersections will be addressed.

Opposed the ordinance as premature, citing nearly 8 million square feet of proposed warehousing as of October 2023, and urged the township to fix infrastructure and keep conditional use protections first.
