The City of Torrance has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated like any data center - classified into an M-1 or M-2 industrial use and bound by the Chapter 6 noise limits and the Sec. 91.30.2 nuisance standard.
Torrance's Municipal Code contains no crypto-mining, bitcoin, or blockchain use category and no energy cap targeting mining. A building of mining rigs draws power and produces heat and noise like a data center, so the Planning Division classifies it into the nearest enumerated industrial use in the M-1 or M-2 manufacturing zones under Sec. 91.30.1 and 91.31.1. Continuous cooling and fans must meet the Sec. 46.7.2 noise limits - 60 dB(A) day and 55 dB(A) night at an industrial boundary - and the Sec. 46.2.6 five-decibel rule at any home. Home mining is ordinary residential use subject to the same property-line noise limits.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A mining operation not matching a permitted M-1 or M-2 use is a zoning violation, and noise over the Chapter 6 limits is enforced by the City.
