Hyperscale data center

hyperscaledata center campus

A very large, cloud-scale data center campus; the local zoning code defines the term and gates it as a conditional use.

A hyperscale data center is a data center built and operated at cloud scale — typically multiple large halls on a single campus, with substantial electrical and cooling infrastructure. The term is not just colloquial here: the American Township zoning resolution defines Data Center / Hyperscale Data Center and treats it as a conditional use in its industrial district.

The land-use footprint is what ties the term to the rest of this record — the parcels assembled for the campus, the conditional-use application, and the consumptive cooling draw the cooling infrastructure implies. Who controls the assembling entities is a separate question, read through common-control plumbing rather than asserted.
