A facility meeting the code’s Digital Asset Mining definition is listed as a conditional use in the commercial and industrial districts marked “C” in the use table. It therefore requires conditional-use approval rather than being allowed outright.

Conditional-use applications require a public hearing, notice published at least 15 days beforehand, and certified-mail notice to owners or occupants within 200 feet. The applicant bears the publication and notice costs and must pay the applicable application fee. Conditional-use hearing and notice requirements

Conditional-use approval is subject to review criteria, including consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and applicable codes, compatibility with nearby properties, adequate parking and access, and required landscaping. The Planning Commission may also impose conditions or restrictions; violating an approval condition can be grounds for revoking the permit. Conditional-use review standards

Conditional-use approvals can lapse if the use does not begin within one year; where construction is involved, a building permit must be issued within one year and construction completed within two years. The general expiration rules also say approval expires if the use ceases for more than four consecutive months after commencing. Conditional-use expiration rules

Construction or structural alteration requires a building permit, and a building may not be occupied or changed to a new use until a certificate of occupancy is issued. Utilities may not connect service to a newly erected or structurally altered building without that certificate. Building-permit and occupancy requirements

Digital asset mining—a use defined to include facilities for storing, managing, processing, and transmitting digital data—is listed as a conditional use in commercial and industrial districts. This creates a route to seek approval there, but the use requires a conditional-use permit and Planning Commission review. The definition of Digital Asset Mining.

An approved conditional use generally does not expire unless the property is rezoned, the use changes, an expiration condition is imposed, or the use ceases for more than four consecutive months. If construction is required, it must begin within one year and be completed within two years. Conditional Use permit expiration rules.
