Noise
- Maximum noise level65 dBA
Uses which generate noise by the nature of their function and/or processes shall be required to demonstrate that the noise levels emitted from the use shall not exceed 65 dBA at any property line which abuts a commercial or residential zone or use.
From the ordinance
Noise Uses which generate noise by the nature of their function and/or processes shall be required to demonstrate that the noise levels emitted from the use shall not exceed 65 dBA at any property line which abuts a commercial or residential zone or use. A detailed noise attenuation study by a qualified acoustical engineer may be required by the Director or his designated representative to determine appropriate mitigation and methods to incorporate same into project design. Site design methods which may be utilized to reduce noise include: a. The use of building setbacks and dedication of noise easements to increase the distance between the noise source and receiver; b. The location of uses and orientation of buildings which are compatible with higher noise levels adjacent to noise generators or in clusters to shield more noise-sensitive areas and uses; c. The placement of noise-tolerant land uses, such as parking areas, between the noise source and receiver; d. The placement of noise-tolerant structures, such as garages or carports, to shield noise-sensitive areas; e. Clustering of office or commercial structures to reduce interior open space noise levels.
