Bostonia has no crypto-mining ordinance because it has no municipal code at all. San Diego County regulates a commercial mining facility as a data center: an industrial-zone use needing a Major Use Permit, bound by Sec. 36.404 noise limits.
San Diego County's Zoning Ordinance contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category, and Bostonia as an unincorporated place adds none of its own. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so the county classifies it into the nearest use type - Major Impact Services and Utilities for a large facility - and requires a Major Use Permit in the M52, M54, or M58 zones. Continuous cooling noise must stay within Sec. 36.404: 70 dBA in M52 and M54, and 50 dBA day and 45 dBA night where it reaches residential zones. Home mining is ordinary residential use under the same noise limits.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation without the required county Major Use Permit is a zoning violation enforced by San Diego County code enforcement.
