Oxnard has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated like any data center - sited in an industrial zone, classified on the Industrial Land Use Matrix, and bound by the Section 7-185 property-line noise limits.
Oxnard's Municipal Code has no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so the Planning Division classifies it into the nearest use on the Industrial Land Use Matrix and sites it in a C-M, BRP, M-L, M-1, or M-2 zone - permitted by ministerial Zone Clearance as an industrial use, or by a discretionary Special Use or Design Review Permit if read as a utility or communications facility. Cooling noise must stay within Section 7-185: 70 dBA on industrial land, and the 55/50 dBA residential cap where it reaches homes. Home-based mining is ordinary residential use.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation outside an industrial zone, or without a required discretionary permit, is a zoning violation, and noise over the Section 7-185 limits is a misdemeanor enforced by the City.
