Clovis regulates data centers under its own Development Code, not Fresno County's. The closest use, "Data Processing and Preparations," is permitted by right in all five industrial districts - C-M, M-P, M-1, M-2, and R-T - subject to site plan review.
Clovis Development Code Table 2-6 lists no "data center" use, but names "Data Processing and Preparations," permitted by right in every industrial district: C-M, M-P, M-1, M-2, and R-T. A permitted use still requires Director-approved site plan review under Chapter 9.56 when site modifications occur; no conditional use permit is needed. Related uses - Computer Integrated System Design, Research and Development, and Broadcast/Recording Studios - are also permitted in all industrial zones. Public Utility Facilities need an administrative use permit in C-M, M-1, and M-2. A discretionary permit or CEQA review attaches only if the project triggers one. Unlike Fresno County, Clovis names a data-processing use outright.
Operating a data center outside an industrial district, or without required site plan or use-permit approval, violates the Development Code, enforced under Chapter 9.92 through stop-work orders, penalties, and abatement.
