Long Beach has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining operation is treated as a data center - sited in the City's industrial districts under Title 21 and bound by the Chapter 8.80 noise limits, with a Conditional Use Permit where it functions as an electrical service.
Long Beach's Municipal Code contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy cap aimed at mining. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so Development Services classifies it into the nearest use in Table 33-2 and sites it in an industrial district - IL, IM, IG, or IP. A high-load facility functioning as an electrical service requires a Conditional Use Permit and CEQA review in the IG district. Continuous cooling noise must stay within Chapter 8.80: 65 to 70 dBA on industrial land and 45 dBA overnight where it reaches homes. Home mining is residential use, bound by the same property-line limits.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation outside an industrial district, or without a required Conditional Use Permit, is a Title 21 zoning violation, and noise over the Chapter 8.80 limits is enforced by the City.
