Data Center Zoning & Siting
Yuba County has no data-center-specific ordinance. In unincorporated areas a data center is an industrial use, belonging in the IG General Industrial or IL Light Industrial district under Development Code Chapter 11.09. Larger power-intensive projects need a use permit and CEQA review. Marysville and Wheatland set their own zoning.
