Fresno County has no ordinance specific to cryptocurrency or blockchain mining. A commercial mining operation is treated as a data center or industrial use, sited in the M-1, M-2, or M-3 districts and bound by the same Zoning Ordinance, CEQA review, and Chapter 8.40 noise limits.
Unincorporated Fresno County does not single out cryptocurrency or bitcoin mining in its code. Because a mining operation is a room of servers and cooling equipment, it is regulated like any data center: sited in the M-1, M-2, or M-3 industrial districts under the Zoning Ordinance, subject to Director Site Plan Review, a Conditional Use Permit where the Director requires one, and CEQA review for discretionary approvals. Its cooling and any generators must meet the countywide noise limits of 50 dBA day and 45 dBA night at a nearby home under Chapter 8.40. Small-scale hobby mining on personal equipment inside a home falls under ordinary residential and home-occupation rules, not industrial zoning.
No crypto-specific penalty exists. A commercial mining facility built outside an industrial district, without required review, or exceeding the Chapter 8.40 noise limits faces county zoning and noise enforcement and denial of permits until it conforms.
