Chandler has no cryptocurrency-mining-specific ordinance. A commercial crypto-mining facility housing networked computer systems fits the city's data center definition, so it is permitted only within a Planned Area Development and is subject to the same notice, sound-mitigation, and backup-generator rules.
Chandler's Zoning Code (Section 35-200) defines a data center as a facility housing networked computer systems for remote storage, processing, and distribution of data - language broad enough to capture a commercial cryptocurrency-mining operation. Such a facility therefore falls under Section 35-2214: it may operate only within a Planned Area Development, must notify residents within a half-mile, hold two neighborhood meetings, meet the ambient-baseline sound standard, and limit backup-generator runtime. Arizona does not preempt local crypto-mining zoning. Home-based mining is not separately addressed and would fall under general home-occupation and noise rules.
Operating a commercial cryptocurrency-mining facility outside an approved Planned Area Development district is an unlawful use under Chandler's Zoning Code, subject to enforcement by Development Services and the Zoning Administrator.
