Summary
Victorville has no data-center ordinance and no "data center" use category. A data center locates in the City's industrial districts - IPD, M-1, and M-2 - or the Southern California Logistics Airport Specific Plan area, classified as the nearest industrial use under Development Code Table 7-1.
The M-1 (Light Industrial) district, is intended to provide appropriately located areas for the establishment of industrial uses and directly related activities which will foster a mutually beneficial and compatible pattern of industrial land uses.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 57).
Full Breakdown
Victorville's Development Code (Title 16, Chapter 3) does not name "data center" as a use. Article 11 establishes the industrial districts - IPD (Industrial Park), M-1 (Light Industrial), and M-2 (Heavy Industrial) - and the Southern California Logistics Airport Specific Plan governs the former George AFB logistics campus that drew Amazon and Keurig Dr Pepper. Planning classifies a server building into the closest use in Table 7-1 (Sec. 16-3.07.010): a manufacturing, warehouse, or utility use. Where that use is permitted, the project needs only a building permit; where Table 7-1 marks it conditional, a Conditional Use Permit and CEQA review apply. Victorville has adopted no moratorium.
Violations & Fines
Building or operating a data center outside an industrial district, or without a Conditional Use Permit where Table 7-1 requires one, is a Development Code violation enforced by Code Compliance through stop-work orders and abatement.
