The county's ordinance establishes the Critical Digital Infrastructure overlay zone, where critical digital infrastructure is permitted, and outlines use-specific standards. Critical digital infrastructure facilities are permitted in industrial districts and the Critical Digital infrastructure overlay district, provided they follow the specific-use standards outlined (§1-19-8.402.A). Critical digital infrastructure facilities must adhere to standards that address size and location, bulk regulations, design requirements, subdivision and street frontage, and performance standards (§1-19-8.402). Critical digital infrastructure electric substations are permitted in industrial districts within the Critical Digital Infrastructure overlay zone provided they meet size and location standards, are constructed for the purpose of providing power to critical digital infrastructure facilities, adhere to design regulations, and submit all application requirements (§1-19-8.403).
