The City of Moorpark has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated like any data center - sited in the M-1 or M-2 industrial zone by Zoning Clearance and bound by the § 17.53.080 noise limits.
Moorpark's Municipal Code names no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use and sets no energy cap. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so it is classified into the nearest industrial use in Table 17.20.060 - manufacturing, warehousing, or research - in the M-1 or M-2 zone, permitted by Zoning Clearance. New industrial buildings of 50,000 square feet or greater need an Industrial Planned Development permit with CEQA review. Continuous cooling noise must stay within § 17.53.080: 65 dB(A) in the M-1 zone, 70 dB(A) in M-2, and 55 dB(A) overnight where it reaches homes. Home mining is residential use subject to the same property-line limits.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation outside an industrial zone, or without a required Planned Development permit, is a Title 17 violation, and noise over the § 17.53.080 limits is enforced by the city.
