How the county ordinance treats a data center
Our search of the county ordinance text found no data-center use by name. A planner decides which listed use applies to a project. The full unified development ordinance was searched for data center, data processing, data storage, server farm, cryptocurrency, and crypto without a named use.
A use that the ordinance does not name is classified by the planning staff, and the permit path follows from that decision. Special use permits, conditional zoning, and rezoning
