Summary
Fillmore has no data-center ordinance. Data centers fit the MPD manufacturing/industrial zone, where "computer data" storage is a permitted light-industrial use needing only a development permit. A communications relay facility or heavy noise-generating operation instead requires a discretionary conditional use permit with CEQA review.
The following list represents those primary land uses in the manufacturing/industrial zoning district which are permitted (P), subject to a development permit (D) or a conditional use permit (C): ... STORAGE (computer data, household good office files, valuables ... not self-storage)
Full Breakdown
Fillmore's Zoning Regulations (Municipal Code Title 6, Chapter 6.04) name no "data center" use. In the MPD manufacturing/industrial district, Section 6.04.0810 lists "STORAGE (computer data...)" as a permitted (P) light-industrial use, allowed within an enclosed structure when it creates no significant noise, heat, or vibration effects; new construction requires a ministerial development permit. "Public service and utility structures" are also permitted. A facility classed as a "Communication transmitting, reception or relay facility," or a heavy operation with significant off-site effects, instead requires a conditional use permit - a discretionary approval triggering CEQA review and a Planning Commission hearing. Fillmore's industrial land is limited and it has adopted no data-center moratorium.
Violations & Fines
Building or operating a data center outside the MPD zone, or without the development permit or conditional use permit when required, is a zoning violation enforced by Fillmore code enforcement through stop-work orders, penalties, and abatement.
