Data Centers

The county's unified development ordinance defines data centers, establishes where they are permitted, and outlines use-specific requirements and standards. The ordinance permits data centers in industrial districts with a special use permit (§154.4.020). Data centers must submit all application requirements, and adhere to standards regarding equipment and building setbacks, sound levels, backup generators, screening, utility lines, fencing, annual fire training, and decommissioning (§154.8.090).
