Baldwin Park has no data-center ordinance and no "data center" use in Table 153.050.020. A server facility is sited in the I-C or I industrial zones, permitted by right under the manufacturing, research and testing use category.
Baldwin Park's Zoning Code, Chapter 153, names no data-center use. Table 153.050.020 permits Manufacturing, Assembly, Industrial, Welding, Storage, Fabrication, Research and Testing Establishments by right in the Industrial-Commercial (I-C) and Industrial (I) zones, and a data center is classified into that category. Section 153.050.020(C) prohibits any use not listed, while giving the Zoning Administrator authority to find a proposed use similar to and no more detrimental than a listed use. Uses involving an incinerator, blast furnace, or similar industrial process require a Conditional Use Permit and CEQA review. Monterey Park and Alhambra adopted data-center bans; Baldwin Park has not.
Operating a data center outside the I-C or I zones, or without a required Conditional Use Permit, is a Zoning Code violation enforced through citations, civil penalties, and abatement.
