West Covina has no cryptocurrency-mining ordinance. A commercial mining facility is treated as an industrial use - sited in the M-1 Manufacturing zone with an Administrative Permit and bound by the Chapter 15 noise standard. Home mining is residential, subject to the same noise limits.
West Covina's Development Code contains 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 the City classifies it under "Industrial and Manufacturing uses" and locates it in the M-1 Manufacturing zone with an Administrative Permit - or a Conditional Use Permit if it functions as a public utility station. Continuous cooling noise must satisfy the Chapter 15 nuisance standard: no noise plainly audible 50 feet past the property line of nearby homes. Home-based mining is ordinary residential use under the same noise rules.
There are no crypto-specific penalties. A commercial mining operation outside the M-1 zone, or without its Administrative Permit, is a zoning violation, and excess noise is enforced under Chapter 15.
