Buena Park's zoning code names no data-center use. Under Table 19.512.010 a server building classed as research, warehouse, or industrial use is automatically permitted in the ML and MH zones, but requires a conditional use permit within 330 feet of a residential zone.
Title 19 of the Buena Park Municipal Code sets uses by Table 19.512.010. The City's industrial zones are CM, MR, ML, and MH. Research and development laboratories, warehouses, and distribution buildings carry the symbol "Pc" in ML and MH: automatically permitted, except a conditional use permit is required within three hundred thirty feet of a residential zone. A facility read instead as a "telephone central office, relay station" carries "C" in every zone, meaning a conditional use permit in all cases, with CEQA review and a Planning Commission hearing. Utilities and communications uses also carry footnote 13, making them eligible through a Development Agreement. Unlisted uses are classified by Director interpretation under Section 19.128.010.
Operating a data center outside a zone allowing it, or without a required conditional use permit, is a Title 19 zoning violation enforced by Community Development through stop-work orders, citations, and abatement.
