Rancho Cucamonga has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated like a data center-sited in the NI or IE industrial zones, needing a Conditional Use Permit where classed as a utility facility, and bound by the Section 17.66.050 noise limits.
Rancho Cucamonga's Development Code has no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy cap targeting mining. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so Planning classifies it into the nearest use-commonly a Utility Facility and Infrastructure-Fixed Based Structure or Storage Warehouse, each needing a Conditional Use Permit and CEQA review in the NI and IE zones. Continuous cooling noise must meet Section 17.66.050: 60 dBA overnight at homes, cut to 55 dBA for simple-tone equipment. Home-based mining is ordinary residential use, subject to the same property-line noise limits.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation outside the NI or IE zones, or without a required Conditional Use Permit, is a zoning violation, and noise over Section 17.66.050 is enforced by the City.
