Supervisors add 'government services' and 'data center' uses to zoning code and remove duplex from agricultural district
Summary
The board approved zoning‑text amendments to add government‑services uses across districts, define data centers as a special‑exception use in commercial/industrial districts, and remove duplexes from the agricultural district; Planning Commission recommended the changes.
The Board of Supervisors voted to adopt three zoning‑text changes after staff presentation and Planning Commission recommendation: adding "government services" as a use (often by special exception) across multiple zoning districts, inserting a data‑center definition and making data centers subject to special‑exception review in specified districts, and removing duplexes as a permitted use in the agricultural district.
Planning staff explained the data‑center definition included systems for data storage/processing, substantial electrical and cooling infrastructure, and environmental controls; the planning commission recommended the special‑exception approach to preserve public review and transparency. The board opened each public hearing, heard no public opposition, and approved the amendments in separate votes.
