Yolo County has no ordinance specific to cryptocurrency or blockchain mining. A commercial mining operation is treated as a data center or industrial use, allowed by Site Plan Review in the I-L or OPRD zones and subject to the same Zoning Code and CEQA review.
Unincorporated Yolo 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 treated like any data center: classified as 'data storage and computer operations' under Table 8-2.704, allowed by Site Plan Review in the Light Industrial (I-L) or Office Park/Research and Development (OPRD) zones, barred from Heavy Industrial (I-H), and reviewed under CEQA for larger projects. Its cooling and any on-site generators are conditioned for noise through Site Plan Review and CEQA. 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 the I-L or OPRD zones, without Site Plan Review, or breaching its CEQA noise conditions faces Yolo County zoning and code enforcement and denial of permits until it conforms.
