San Leandro has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining operation is regulated as a data center - sited in an IG, IL, IP, or IT industrial district and bound by the nuisance-based Noise Ordinance. Home mining is ordinary residential use subject to the same noise rules.
San Leandro's code has no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy cap. A warehouse of mining rigs produces heat and noise like any data center, so the Zoning Enforcement Official classifies it into the nearest industrial use - Communications Facilities, Industry, or Utilities, Major - in an industrial district, permitted by right or by Conditional Use Permit. Its cooling noise cannot become a nuisance under Municipal Code Section 4-1-1110, and any motor running between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. must be enclosed. Home mining is residential use bound by the same noise standard.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. Mining outside an industrial district, or without a required Conditional Use Permit, is a zoning violation, and nuisance noise is abated under Chapter 1-12.
