The City of Santa Clarita has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated like any data center - sited in the Business Park (BP) or Industrial (I) zone and bound by the Chapter 11.44 noise limits, with permits set by the use chart.
Santa Clarita's Municipal Code and Unified Development Code contain no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use type and no energy cap targeting mining. A warehouse of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so it is classified into the nearest industrial use - light manufacturing or warehousing - and located in a Business Park (BP) or Industrial (I) zone. Cooling noise must stay within Section 11.44.040: 80 dB(A) day and 70 dB(A) night in those zones, dropping to 65 day and 55 night near homes. 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 BP or Industrial zones, or without a required permit, is a zoning violation, and noise over the Section 11.44.040 limits is enforced by the City.
