Perris市议会全票通过全市禁设数据中心 成Riverside County第二城、县西部首城
位于加州河滨县的Perris市，Riverside CountyPerris市议会10月13日晚在北D街101号市议会厅开会，以全票通过在全市范围内禁止数据中心。Perris由此成为Riverside County继Coachella之后第二座禁止这一土地用途的城市，也是该县西部第一座。据《河滨记录报》（The Riverside Record）10月14日报道，表决结果公布后，现场响起欢呼与掌声。
市首席规划师拉斐尔·加西亚（Rafael Garcia）在会上说明，该议案此前已获市规划委员会全票推荐。规划委员会认为，数据中心可能带来的投资、房产税与就业收益，不足以抵消其负面影响。加西亚表示，全市禁令有助于保护公众健康、安全与整体福祉，并应对数据中心对电力与水资源的持续高需求；在重大私人投资进入本市之前，先确立清晰、一致的政策。
新规对数据中心的定义为：用于容纳计算机网络、计算机系统或服务器以存储或处理数据的设施、建筑、结构或建筑内的专用空间，包括服务器农场、超大规模设施与靠近终端用户的小型边缘数据中心。传统电话交换设施、电信天线、住宅电脑房，以及附属于获准办公用途的标准服务器机房，不在禁令范围内。
这一议题由市议员戴维·斯塔尔·拉布（David Starr Rabb）今年早些时候提议研究，市议会6月已全票决定推进禁令。10月13日晚共有15名发言者在会上表态支持禁令。市议员玛丽塞拉·纳瓦（Marisela Nava）在表决前表示，她很高兴本市提前处理了这一可能危及社区的议题，并称社区的整体福祉不应拿来谈判。
会上另有多名居民要求市议会致函第46区农业协会／南加州博览会董事会，要求终止该会与Global Stack LLC就博览会场地一项潜在开发所达成的考察协议，该开发包含一处拟议的数据中心。市长迈克尔·瓦尔加斯（Michael Vargas）回应称，博览会场地为州有土地，不在市议会管辖范围之内。
Perris City Council Votes Unanimously to Ban Data Centers Citywide, Second in Riverside County
Perris is a city in Riverside County, California. The Perris City Council voted unanimously on the evening of October 13 to ban data centers citywide, at its meeting in the council chambers at 101 North D Street. Perris became the second city in Riverside County to prohibit the land use, after Coachella, and the first in the western part of the county. According to The Riverside Record's October 14 report, cheers and applause followed the vote.
Principal Planner Rafael Garcia told the council the item came with a unanimous recommendation from the city's planning commission, which found that any benefits from potential investment, property tax revenue or job creation from a data center would not outweigh the negative impacts. Garcia said a citywide prohibition would help protect public health, safety and general welfare and manage the high, continuous demand for electricity and water associated with data centers, while setting a clear policy before major private investment comes into the city.
The newly adopted policy defines data centers as any facility, building, structure or dedicated space within a structure used to house a computer network, computer systems or servers for storing or processing data, including server farms, hyperscale facilities and small, decentralized edge data centers. Traditional telephone switching facilities, telecommunication antennas, residential computer rooms and standard server rooms ancillary to a permitted office use are not included.
The issue was first raised earlier this year by Councilmember David Starr Rabb, who asked staff to research data center impacts, and in June the council voted unanimously to move forward with a ban. Fifteen speakers addressed the October 13 meeting in support. Councilmember Marisela Nava said before the vote that she was glad the city had gotten ahead of an item that could have jeopardized the community, and that the community's general welfare should never be up for negotiation.
Several residents also asked the council to send a letter to the 46th District Agricultural Association and Southern California Fair board seeking an end to its agreement with Global Stack LLC to explore a potential development at the fairgrounds that includes a proposed data center. Mayor Michael Vargas responded that the fairgrounds are state-owned property and outside the council's jurisdiction.
