Compton has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated like any data center - sited in an M-L or M-H manufacturing zone, classified into the nearest listed use, and bound by the Section 7-12 and Section 30-24.6 noise limits, with a Conditional Use Permit where required.
Compton's Municipal Code contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy cap targeting mining. A building of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so Community Development classifies it into the nearest manufacturing use under Section 30-14.2 or Section 30-15.2 and sites it in the M-L or M-H zone - permitted by right if it matches a listed use, or by Conditional Use Permit under Section 30-26 with CEQA review. Continuous cooling and fan noise must stay within five decibels of ambient under Section 7-12.11. Home mining is ordinary residential use, subject to the same property-line noise limits.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation outside a manufacturing zone, or without a required Conditional Use Permit, is a zoning violation, and noise over the Section 7-12 limits is enforced by the city.
