The City of Lodi has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance and no energy cap. A commercial mining operation is regulated like any data center - classified into an industrial use in the M or BP zone and bound by the Chapter 9.24 noise standards.
Lodi's Municipal Code contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy limit aimed at mining. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so the Community Development Director classifies it into the nearest listed use in Table 2-10 and sites it in the M or BP industrial zone - a Use Permit if treated as a utility facility, or by right as warehousing or electronics manufacturing. Its continuous cooling must meet Chapter 9.24: no nuisance noise, and no more than five decibels above ambient at a residential property line overnight. Lodi runs its own municipal electric utility, Lodi Electric Utility, but imposes no mining-specific rate or ban.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A mining operation outside the M or BP zone, or without a required Use Permit, is a zoning violation, and excess noise is an infraction fined up to $250.
