Glenn County has no ordinance specific to cryptocurrency or blockchain mining. A commercial mining operation is treated as a data center or industrial use, allowed in the M Industrial Zone and subject to Title 15, the county's Section 15.560.100 noise standard, and CEQA review.
Unincorporated Glenn County does not single out cryptocurrency or bitcoin mining anywhere in its Unified Development Code. Because a mining operation is a room of servers and cooling equipment, it is regulated like any data center: the Planning Director classifies it as an M-zone industrial use under Section 15.030.020, permitted by right or by conditional use permit depending on scale. Cooling and generator noise must meet the Section 15.560.100 limits, and any discretionary approval triggers CEQA review. Small-scale hobby mining on personal equipment inside a home falls under ordinary residential and home-occupation rules, not industrial zoning.
No crypto-specific penalty exists. A commercial mining facility built outside the M zone, without a required permit or CEQA clearance, or exceeding the county noise limits, faces zoning and code enforcement until it conforms.
