Murrieta has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance and no mining use in its Development Code. A commercial mining facility is treated as an unlisted data-center-type use - allowed in the BP, GI, or GI-A zones only on the director's similar-use finding - and bound by the Section 16.30.090 noise limits.
Murrieta's 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 under Section 16.04.020(D) it is an unlisted use: prohibited unless the Development Services director finds it substantially similar to a use in Table 16.12-1, then sited in the BP, GI, or GI-A zone under a zoning clearance or conditional use permit. Continuous cooling and ventilation noise must stay within the Section 16.30.090 limits - 70 dB on industrial land, 45 dB overnight at homes - and Murrieta exempts no HVAC equipment. Home mining is ordinary residential use, subject to the same property-line noise limits.
No crypto-specific penalties exist. A commercial mining operation without the director's similar-use determination or the required permit is a zoning violation, and noise over the Section 16.30.090 limits is enforced by Murrieta code enforcement.
