Citrus Heights has no data-center ordinance and no "data center" use category. A data center fits the MP (Industrial/Office Park) zone as light manufacturing, R&D, or indoor warehousing, permitted by right with a ministerial Zoning Clearance. A discretionary Use Permit and CEQA apply only for a more intensive classification.
Citrus Heights is a built-out suburb with limited industrial land, so its Zoning Code (Title 106) names no "data center" use. Planning staff classify a server building into the closest use in Table 2-5. In the MP (Industrial/Office Park) zone, light manufacturing and indoor warehouse uses are permitted by right through a ministerial Zoning Clearance, needing no hearing and no CEQA. A larger or more intensive facility can require a Minor Use Permit or a discretionary Use Permit, which triggers CEQA review and Planning Commission approval. The city has adopted no data-center overlay, standards, or moratorium.
Building or operating a data center outside the MP or other permitted zone, or without a required Use Permit, is a Zoning Code violation enforced by Community Development through stop-work orders and abatement.
