PROJECT ATLAS
MAJOR PLAN 2025-109
REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAN REVIEW
An application to develop the property located at 2493 North Cedar Crest Boulevard, 2807 N. Cedar Crest Boulevard, and 2747 N. Cedar Crest Boulevard, PIN Nos. 548824698560, 548813031059, and 548803901857. The plan proposes to develop a data center campus. The site consists of three parcels; Lot 1, containing 404.3042 acres; Lot 2, containing 5.8665 acres, and Lot 3, containing .4821 acres; containing a total 410.6528 acres. The plan proposes to consolidate three (3) lots into one. Improvements include the construction of an industrial campus that contains six data center buildings. The campus will also include associated site improvements such as internal access roads, employee parking areas, perimeter security fencing, landscaped buffers, stormwater management facilities, and a multi-use path. Stormwater management will consist of a series of detention basins and infiltration basins. A new private roadway is proposed running east-west through the site. This private roadway will start at the intersection of North Cedar Crest Boulevard and the Parkland High School driveway and will end along the west side of Mauch Chunk Road, approximately 425’ south of the Mauch Chunk Road and Mechanicsville Road intersection. This application also proposes to dedicate land along both North Cedar Crest Boulevard and Mauch Chunk Road to meet the ultimate right-of-way width for each. Additional infrastructure will include an onsite electrical substation and emergency generators at the data centers. The onsite electrical substation will be visually shielded from North Cedar Crest Boulevard via a 12’ tall berm and plantings. The emergency generators will be surrounded by sound attenuation walls to minimize acoustic impacts on neighboring properties. The parcel is not currently served by public water but there is an existing water main located within Ritter Road to the southwest of the site. This water main is under South Whitehall Township’s jurisdiction. This water main will be extended east along Ritter Road to the proposed development. Public sanitary sewer does not currently serve the site. A private septic field is proposed to serve the development and is zoned Neighborhood Commercial NC. Jeras Corporation is the owner and CDE Acquisitions, LLC (Purchaser) is the applicant.
All properties are located in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. Copies of plans, applications and supporting documents are available for public inspection upon request.
