Yuba City has no data-center ordinance and no "data center" use category. Servers land in the M-1 Light Industrial or M-2 Industrial districts, classified by the Planning Director into the closest listed industrial use under Section 8-5.111.
Zoning Code Article 20 establishes the M-1 Light Industrial district and Article 21 establishes M-2 Industrial. Neither Section 8-5.2002 nor Section 8-5.2102 lists a data center. Section 8-5.111 lets the Planning Director treat an unlisted use as a listed one when it is similar in character and impact. A server building fits indoor assembly and processing, a research and development laboratory, or a storage warehouse, each allowed by Zoning Clearance. Section 8-5.7001 scales review by size: warehouse floor area of 35,000 square feet or less is ministerial, 35,001 to 100,000 goes to the Planning Commission, and 100,001 or more goes to the City Council. Those discretionary reviews trigger CEQA.
Building or operating a data center without the required Zoning Clearance, development plan approval, or use permit is a Zoning Code violation enforced by Yuba City Development Services through permit denial, stop-work orders, and abatement.
