WHEREAS, the City staff reviewed the project’s environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”) and determined that the project is exempt under a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to section 15301(a) (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations); and WHEREAS, notice of the Planning Commission public hearing of September 2, 2026, was published in compliance with State law in a local newspaper of general circulation. In addition, a public notice was mailed 10 days in advance of the hearing to each property owner, occupants and resident within a 300-foot radius of the project site, indicating the date and time of the public hearing in accordance with California Government Code 65091; and WHEREAS, on September 2, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the Application, including without limitation, information provided to the Planning Commission by City staff and public testimony; and
WHEREAS, this Resolution and its findings are made based upon evidence presented to the Commission at its public hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Community Development Department; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have been met. 11 Resolution 2026-61
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELL DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND DECLARE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. All of the facts set forth in the recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Planning Commission during the public hearing conducted with regard to the Application, including written staff reports, verbal testimony, site plans, and Conditions of Approval (“Conditions”) attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” the Planning Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
A. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape and topography to accommodate the proposed use. The site is developed with an existing two-story building with multiple staff offices, restrooms, and storage facilities previously occupied by a vocational school. The proposed high school will occupy the existing building without needing tenant improvements.
The existing site is predominantly flat and contains parking areas and landscaping planters.
Therefore, the existing building and site are adequate in size, shape, and topography to accommodate the proposed high school operations.
B. The site has sufficient access to public streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type, to carry the quantity and quality of vehicular and pedestrian traffic expected to be generated by the proposed use. The proposed parking layout on the site will provide 58 parking spaces for faculty, staff, and students. Since the majority of students will take classes online, and only 30-50 students on site at a single time, staff anticipates this amount of parking will satisfy the needs of the people who are on the site.
C. All buildings and structures proposed to be constructed or utilized in conjunction with the use will be architecturally compatible with existing and prospective uses of land located in the immediate vicinity of the site. Since taking over the building the operator has repaired and/or replaced all the vandalized doors and windows. The applicant has patched and painted the damaged wall areas be as needed to match the unaffected wall areas. In addition, the applicant washed or repainted the building facades to eliminate dust and watermarks. Lastly, the applicant removed all unpermitted vinyl graphics and banners throughout the site. The applicant regularly maintains the cleanliness and appearance of the site, therefore, the use will not adversely impact the subject site or surrounding area.
D. The location of the proposed use on the site will be compatible with existing and prospective uses of land located in the immediate vicinity of the site. The site was previously redeveloped with an educational facility, and no tenant improvements or additions to the building’s square feet are being proposed. In addition, the site has been previously occupied by other similar uses, including a vocational school, which has some similar operating characteristics of class settings and offices that are compatible with the existing surrounding commercial and residential land uses within the immediate vicinity.
E. The conduct of the proposed use will be in compliance with the City’s General Plan. The subject site’s General Plan Land Use Designations are Commercial and Medium Density Residential. The high school uses allowable within all zoning districts of the City, subject to the approval of a CUP. Therefore, with the approval of a CUP, the proposed high school use 12 Resolution 2026-61
will be in compliance with the Zoning Code requirements and the City’s General Plan. The proposed land use will address the current and future needs of the residential sector by providing an educational facility for children residing within the surrounding residential areas.
Therefore, the proposed project satisfies the Land Use and Sustainability Element Policy 1 of the General Plan.
SECTION 3. The City Council reviewed the project’s environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”) and finds the project to be exempt under a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to section 15301(a) (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations); and SECTION 4. The Planning Commission hereby approves ENT-7 subject to the execution and fulfillment of Conditions of Approval set forth in Exhibit “A” attached to this Resolution.
SECTION 5. That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 14TH day of October, 2026. __________________________________

EXPANSION OF DATA CENTERS WITHIN CITY LIMITS DURING
THE PENDENCY OF THE CITY’S REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF
PERMANENT ZONING REGULATIONS FOR SUCH USES
THE BELL CITY COUNCIL DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the City of Bell (“City”) has the authority, under its police powers, to enact regulations for the public peace, safety, and general welfare of the City pursuant to its Charter and California Constitution Article XI, section 7; and
WHEREAS, the City has a compelling interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, residents, visitors, and businesses, and in preserving the peace and quiet of the neighborhoods within the City by regulating the establishment, expansion, and relocation of Data Centers (as defined below) within City limits; and WHEREAS, the City is responsible for adopting and implementing land use regulations within its boundaries; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bell Municipal Code (“BMC”) does not presently define “Data Center” and contains no other development standards or regulations applicable to Data Center land uses, including location, size, and scope; and
WHEREAS, communities throughout the state and country have experienced detrimental effects of Data Center land uses, including but not limited to intensive energy and water use, noise, crime and security issues, air quality, water and noise pollution, aesthetic impacts, and other related effects on property values and quality of life to surrounding neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, it is in the City’s best interest to promote orderly growth and balance the development of Data Centers with respect to economics, compatibility with other uses, and aesthetics; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Sections 36934, 36937, and 65858 expressly authorize the City Council to adopt an interim urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety and to prohibit a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, Planning Commission, or the Planning Division is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time; and
WHEREAS, City staff require time to study and develop appropriate zoning appropriate regulations concerning the establishment, placement, and possible operational conditions of Data Center land uses that are consistent with state and federal law; and WHEREAS, the City posted and published notice of the public hearing for this Ordinance on September 30, 2026; and
22 01135.0001 2199680.2 Page 2 of 6
WHEREAS, pursuant to the above-described express statutory authority and its police powers, the City Council desires, on an urgency basis, to temporarily prohibit establishment of new, or the expansion or relocation of existing, Data Centers within the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELL, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS
The City Council finds the facts set forth in the recitals in this Ordinance are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by reference. Additionally, based on the foregoing, both verbal and written testimony at the public hearing, including the staff report, exhibits, and any materials provided by members of the public, the City Council finds as follows:
A. Data Centers are currently undefined in the City’s Municipal Code, and the City does not presently have adequate regulations governing the location, size, scope, development standards, and operational conditions applicable to Data Centers. The City is currently studying new zoning regulations for these uses. The City Council is adopting this Ordinance in order to allow the City time to thoroughly study and develop the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and potential fees related to the development, operation, and establishment of Data Centers to enable the City to adequately and appropriately preserve the health, safety, and welfare of residents in the City.
B. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the term “Data Center” shall mean and include:
(i) any facility or structure whose sole or primary function is to house servers and data storage systems with connections to the public internet or closed enterprise networks for large-scale software systems and the computational demands of traditional computing and generative artificial intelligence; and (ii) backup power generators, water cooling and storage facilities, air handlers, utility substations, fire suppression systems, and other infrastructure used to support Data Center operations. The term “Data Center” shall not include: (i) actions undertaken by the City; or (ii) data processing facilities whose use is secondary or ancillary to another expressly permitted use and that are located on less than one acre of land.
C. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the term “Data Center operator” shall mean a person that owns, manages, and/or operates a Data Center.
D. The City Council finds that, in the absence of a sufficient regulatory framework governing Data Centers, the establishment or expansion of Data Centers may result in significant adverse impacts on the public health, safety, and welfare of the community, including impacts associated with intensive energy and water use, noise, air quality, water and noise pollution, security, aesthetics, property values, quality of life, and demands on existing utility infrastructure.
E. The City Council finds that the potential adverse impacts from Data Centers include the following:
1. Data Centers are not presently subject to adequate City regulation or oversight concerning their location, size, scope, development standards, and operational conditions; 23 01135.0001 2199680.2 Page 3 of 6
2. Data Centers may involve intensive energy and water consumption and may require unique or abnormally large connections to electrical, water, and sewage infrastructure, potentially exceeding the capacity of existing infrastructure or placing significant demands on those systems;
3. Data Centers and their associated backup generators and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems may generate substantial and continuous noise that can adversely affect surrounding properties and residents;
4. Data Centers may result in impacts related to air quality, water and noise pollution, security, aesthetics, property values, and the quality of life of surrounding neighborhoods; and
5. The continued establishment or expansion of Data Centers before the City has completed its study and adopted appropriate regulations may result in development that is inconsistent with regulations concerning the location, size, scope, development standards, or operational conditions of Data Centers that the City is currently considering.
F. The City needs time to study the relevant issues and draft proposed amendments to the City’s zoning regulations in order to appropriately regulate the establishment, placement, development, expansion, and operation of Data Centers and preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
SECTION 2. CEQA COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines ("CEQA," California Code of Regulations Title 14, §§ 15000 et seq.), this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA based on the following: (i) this Ordinance is not a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Section 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly; and (ii) this Ordinance is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) because it merely establishes a 45-day temporary moratorium on the establishment and expansion of Data Centers, and thus there is no possibility that this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 3. AUTHORITY AND EFFECT
The State Planning and Zoning Law (Cal. Gov’t Code Sections 65000, et seq.) and the City’s Charter broadly empower the City to plan for and regulate the use of land in order to provide for orderly development, the public health safety and welfare, and a balancing of property rights and the desires of the community and the manner in which its citizens envision their city.
SECTION 4. MORATORIUM
A. The “Effective Period” of this Ordinance shall be forty-five (45) days following adoption (unless extended pursuant to Government Code Section 65858). During the Effective Period, no permit shall be issued for the development, establishment, or operation of any new Data Center, nor may a permit be issued for the expansion of an existing Data Center, in the City. 24 01135.0001 2199680.2 Page 4 of 6
The foregoing shall explicitly prohibit the approval or issuance of any subdivision, use permit, variance, site plan and design review, development and site plan review, zoning compliance review, grading permit, building permit, or any other entitlement, including the issuance of a business license, for any new Data Center or the expansion of any existing Data Center.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any existing Data Center shall be allowed to obtain its annual City business license. Additionally, permits may be issued for minor construction, rehabilitation, landscaping, or other purposes not involving an expansion of building area, provided such work does not increase the floor area or intensity of use of the Data Center. Any Data Center under construction with a valid building permit, any Data Center that obtained administrative planning approval with the concurrence of the City Manager or his/her designee, or any Data Center approved by the Planning Commission as of the effective date of this Ordinance shall be exempt from the moratorium established by this Ordinance.
SECTION 5. STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT
During the Effective Period of this Ordinance, the City shall study and develop as necessary City laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to Data Centers to enable the City to adequately and appropriately preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community in the City. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Community Development Director will issue a report for the City Council on what has been accomplished during the Effective Period.
SECTION 6. URGENCY MEASURE
It is hereby declared that this Ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, safety, and welfare. The City Council finds that its current zoning regulations and land use plans do not adequately regulate the development, establishment, and operation of Data Centers, and therefore do not adequately protect the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the City or communities around the City.
The City Council finds that this urgency measure is necessary in order to ensure adequate regulation of the development and operation of Data Centers. The facts constituting the urgency are:
A. The City does not currently have sufficient standards in the BMC related specifically to the development, establishment, expansion, and operation of Data Centers within the City. Data Centers may result in significant impacts related to energy and water consumption, utility infrastructure, noise, air quality, security, aesthetics, property values, and quality of life.
Approval of a Data Center project without sufficient regulation may therefore result in significant negative impacts upon the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.
B. The City is in the preliminary stages of reviewing its zoning regulations to determine whether additional standards are necessary to address the potentially detrimental impacts of Data Centers. Such uses, if not sufficiently regulated constitute a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. Examples of potential impacts generated by these uses include the following, which require greater study and evaluation:
25 01135.0001 2199680.2 Page 5 of 6
1. Significant energy and water consumption and the need for unique or abnormally large connections to electrical, water, and sewage infrastructure, which may place substantial demands on existing utility systems;
2. Substantial and continuous noise generated by Data Center operations and associated equipment, including backup generators and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, which may adversely affect surrounding properties and residents; and
3. Impacts related to air quality, water and noise pollution, security, aesthetics, property values, and the quality of life of surrounding neighborhoods.
C. Data Center operators may seek to establish or expand Data Centers in locations, concentrations, or development patterns that are inconsistent with regulations concerning the location, size, scope, development standards, and operational conditions of Data Centers that the City is currently studying. Permitting such development to proceed before the City completes its study and adopts appropriate regulations may frustrate the purpose of those regulations and further exacerbate the potential impacts identified above.
As a result of the potential negative and harmful effects associated with insufficiently regulated development and operation of Data Centers, it is necessary to adopt a temporary, fortyfive (45) day moratorium on the establishment of new Data Centers and the expansion of existing Data Centers in the City.
The moratorium established by this Ordinance will allow the City sufficient time to conclude its studies and the preparation of appropriate zoning regulations governing such activities.
SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY
The City Council hereby declares that if any provision, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is rendered or declared invalid or unconstitutional by any final action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, then the City Council would have independently adopted the remaining provisions, sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, phrases, or words of this Ordinance, and as such they shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 8. EFFECTIVENESS OF ORDINANCE.
This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by a 4/5 vote of the City Council, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council by Government Code Section 65858. This Ordinance shall be effective during the Effective Period, which shall be from its adoption and shall be of no further force and effect forty-five (45) days following the date of its adoption, unless extended in accordance with the provisions set forth in Government Code Section 65858(b).
SECTION 9. PUBLICATION
The City Clerk shall certify as to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published in a manner prescribed by law. 26 01135.0001 2199680.2 Page 6 of 6
