Perris advances a citywide data-center ban
What changed
Perris councilmembers voted unanimously on October 13 to prohibit data centers, Alicia Ramirez reported October 14 in The Riverside Record. The city agenda's item 11.A called for a resolution and an ordinance's first reading; we have not established final ordinance adoption or an effective date. The Record reports that the city has no jurisdiction over the state-owned fairgrounds, where a separate proposal includes a potential data center. The council vote does not establish that proposal's cancellation.

Not confirmed by us
- Some claims rest on secondary reporting rather than a primary document.
- The vote and fairgrounds jurisdiction are attributed to The Riverside Record. We read the city agenda, but not the meeting recording or approved minutes. The agenda establishes a proposed first reading, not the outcome or effective date.
- The outlet describes a ban, but final ordinance adoption and when it takes effect have not been independently established here.
