Davis has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining operation is treated as an industrial use in the I or I-R district, bound by the Article 40.24 performance standards and the Chapter 24 noise limits.
The Davis Municipal Code contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy cap on mining. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so it is sited in the Industrial (I) district under Section 40.20.020(a) as a research or storage use, or in the I-R district by planning commission determination under Section 40.19.020(g), and reviewed against the Article 40.24 performance standards. Continuous cooling noise must stay within Section 24.02.020: 55 dBA daytime and 50 dBA overnight at a neighboring home. Home mining is ordinary residential use and carries the same property-plane limits.
No crypto-specific penalties exist. Mining outside an industrial district is a zoning violation, and noise over the Section 24.02.020 limits is enforced under Chapter 24.
