Corona has no data-center ordinance and no "data center" use category. Data centers site in the M-1, M-2, M-3, and M-4 manufacturing zones as electronics manufacturing or warehouse and distribution uses, permitted by right; an unlisted classification goes to Planning Commission determination under Chapter 17.88.
Corona's Municipal Code Chapter 17.44 governs its four industrial zones - M-1 Light Manufacturing, M-2 General Manufacturing, M-3 Heavy Manufacturing, and M-4 Industrial Park. Table 1 lists no "data center" use. A server facility is classified into the closest listed use: "Electronics, manufacturing of equipment, components and products" and "Warehouse and distribution" are both permitted by right (P) in all four zones. Other similar uses not identified in Table 1 may be permitted by Planning Commission determination under Chapter 17.88. Discretionary permits trigger CEQA review. Unlike some California cities, Corona has adopted no data-center moratorium and no dedicated ordinance.
Building or operating a data center outside a manufacturing zone, or without a required conditional use permit or Planning Commission determination, is a zoning violation enforced by Community Development through stop-work orders, penalties, and abatement.
