The City of Camarillo has no data-center ordinance and no "data center" use category. A data center is sited in the M-1 Light Manufacturing or M-2 General Manufacturing zone, classified as manufacturing, office, or public-utility use, and requires a discretionary development plan or planned development permit with CEQA review.
Camarillo's Zoning Code (Title 19) does not name "data center" as a use. A server facility fits the M-1 Light Manufacturing zone as manufacturing, an office building, or a public utility building, or the M-2 General Manufacturing zone under service industries or utility uses. Neither zone permits it by right: M-1 permitted uses need a development plan approved by the Planning Commission (Section 19.30.030), and M-2 permitted uses need a planned development permit (Section 19.32.030). Both approvals are discretionary and trigger CEQA review. A use not listed may be approved as "similar and compatible" by Planning Commission resolution. Unlike some California cities, Camarillo has adopted no data-center moratorium.
Building or operating a data center without the required development plan or planned development permit, or outside an industrial zone, is a Zoning Code violation enforced by Community Development through stop-work orders, penalties, and abatement.
