Rancho Cordova has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is regulated as a data center - sited in an M-1 or M-2 industrial zone by similar-use determination and bound by the Chapter 6.68 noise limits, including the 55 dBA equipment cap.
Rancho Cordova's Title 23 contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use and no energy cap. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like any data center, so Planning classifies it into the nearest industrial use - Research and Development, Manufacturing, or Warehouse - in the M-1 or M-2 zone through a similar-use determination (Chapter 23.122). Continuous cooling and ventilation must meet RCMC Chapter 6.68: 55 dBA daytime and 50 dBA overnight at a residential property line, with stationary equipment capped at 55 dBA under Section 6.68.120. Home-based mining is residential use, subject to the same property-line noise limits.
No crypto-specific penalties exist. A commercial mining operation outside an industrial zone, or without a required use permit, is a zoning violation, and noise over Chapter 6.68 is an infraction.
