The City of Fresno has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated like any data center - sited by right in the IL or IH industrial districts and bound by the Chapter 10 noise limits.
Fresno's Citywide Development Code contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy cap. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so the Director classifies it as a communication or industrial use under Table 15-1302 - permitted by right in the IL Light Industrial and IH Heavy Industrial districts. Continuous cooling noise must stay within Chapter 10: 70 dBA on industrial land and 50 dBA overnight where it reaches homes. Home-based mining is ordinary residential use, subject to the same property-line noise limits under Section 10-106.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation outside an industrial district, or noise exceeding the Chapter 10 limits at a property line, is enforced by the City as a zoning or noise violation.
