An Application of CDE Acquisitions, LLC, 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 site consists of three parcels for a total of 410.6528 acres: Lot 1, contains 404.3042 acres; Lot 2, contains 5.8665 acres, and Lot 3, contains 0.4821 acres. The plan proposes to consolidate the existing parcels into one and to develop a data center campus as a coordinated development. The proposed development would then include three (3) data center principal structures, one (1) data center accessory structure, and one (1) cell tower. Each data center principal structure contains 492,285 square feet. The data center accessory structure is 40,680.46 square feet, for a total building area of 1,517,535.46 square feet. The proposal also includes associated site improvements such as emergency generators, internal access roads, 267 parking spaces, electric vehicle charging stations, perimeter security fencing, landscape buffers, stormwater management facilities, and a multi-use path. Stormwater management for the campus consists of three wet retention ponds and two dry-extended detention basins and one area of amended soils. The three wet ponds will utilize spray irrigation equipment to manage the 2-year 24-hour storm and will contain aerator fountains to help prevent algae growth in the ponds. A new roadway is proposed running east-west through the site, from the intersection of North Cedar Crest Boulevard and Suncrest Drive to the intersection of Mechanicsville Road and Mauch Chunk Road. This application also proposes dedicating 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 parcel is not currently served by public water. The applicant requests connection to and extension of the existing South Whitehall Township owned water main located within Ritter Road to the southwest of the site. Public sanitary sewer does not currently serve the site. A private septic field is proposed to serve the development. The property is located within the Industrial (I) Zoning District, and the applicant is proposing development under the Planned Innovation, Research and Technology (PIRT) Overlay District. Jeras Corporation is the owner and CDE Acquisitions, LLC is the applicant.
