Trinity County has no data-center-specific zoning. A data center is an industrial use belonging in the "I" Industrial District under Title 17, Chapter 17.23, and needs a discretionary use permit plus CEQA review. The county has no incorporated cities, so county zoning governs every parcel.
Trinity County, a remote far-north mountain county of roughly 16,000 residents around the unincorporated seat of Weaverville, has no data centers and no ordinance naming them. Under Title 17, Chapter 17.23, a server or computing facility is treated as an industrial use and belongs in the "I" Industrial District. A facility of that scale needs a discretionary use permit from the Planning Commission, which triggers CEQA review of water, power, traffic, and noise. Very little land is zoned "I", so a real proposal would likely need a rezone first. Trinity has no incorporated cities, so county zoning applies to every parcel countywide.
Building a data center on land not zoned "I", or without a required use permit and CEQA clearance, is a zoning violation. The county can deny permits, issue stop-work orders, and pursue enforcement until the site conforms.
