HomeMy WebLinkAbout03122020 ZPC Agenda Item 6 DATE: March 12, 2020
Agenda Topic: Noise Ordinance
SUMMARY: The proposed modifications to the noise ordinance have been amended based on the
comments from the February 13, 2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: The summary of proposed amendments is
presented with general updates and two options for regulating tools and equipment utilized for
maintenance of the property. These proposed changes are outlined below.
1. General noise measurements: This section has been modified to make sure that any sound
meter measurements are at the adjacent property.
2. Urgent Public Projects: This proposal eliminates the need for certified notice for urgent
public works projects. These types of projects are typically an emergency, and notice
requirement would make emergency repairs difficult. Public works projects that are planned
in the future will follow the City's policies for notification of property owners.
Sec. 54-42(b)
Urgent public projects. It shall be an affirmative defense, in any prosecution under this
article that the offending noise was:
(1)Necessary for a public project for which the public works director has deemed
urgently needed. certified, in writing,that expedited completion is urgently needed and
in the public interest; and
(2) Made after 7:00 a.m. and before 9:00 p.m.
3. Use of tools or equipment for property maintenance: The use of tools or equipment for
property maintenance has two options for consideration.
a) Option A
a. 100 dB(A) cumulative limitation for 15 consecutive minutes at a
time: This option allows for a contactor or resident to utilize equipment
and tools for maintenance of the property if they are 100 dB(A) or less,
and for a time period of less than 15 consecutive minutes.
"The use of tools or equipment, up to a combined level of 100 dB(A),
for a consecutive period of time not to exceed fifteen minutes,other than
during residential quiet hours, for the purposes of maintaining a
property. "
b. Change of Residential Quiet Hours: This option will define the hours
when many people are sleeping or engaged in quiet activities at home,
to be designated as follows:
- Any weekday (Monday through Friday, except holidays
Page 7 of 26
mentioned below) before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m.
- Any Saturday (except the holidays mentioned below) before
8:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m.
- Any Sunday, New Years Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas
Day, and whenever corresponding Friday or Monday on which
the City observes that holiday before 12:00 noon or after 6:00
p.m.
- In order to work outside normal work hours, must be approved
by the City Manager or his designee before any work
outside of the normal hours is commenced.
b) Option B: 100 dB(A) cumulative rating for 15 consecutive minutes: This
option allows for equipment and tools for the maintenance of the property if they
are rated cumulatively under 100 dB(A). This option does not require any
measurement of sound, but instead utilizes listed sound ratings for equipment.
Therefore, if a team is utilizing a compressor, saw, and nail gun, whose listed
sound ratings are cumulatively over 100 dB(A), or if this team works for more
than 15 consecutive minutes for repair of the property with their equipment they
are in violation.
"Use of tools or equipment with a cumulative listed rating in excess of 100
dB(A) for a period of fifteen consecutive minutes during residential non-quiet
quiet hours or use of tools and equipment with a cumulative rating in excess of
general noise level limits is not permitted during residential quiet hours, unless
approved by City Manager or City Manager designee."
Staff Recommendation: Consideration for the proposed noise ordinance.

intensity, or duration as to disturb or annoy a reasonable person of normal sensitivity in the usual

on which the sound is received. The sound level shall be measured at the property line of the
property on which the sound is generated.
The general maximum limits for any noise, except for noises specifically listed in Section 54-41
of this chapter, are as follows:
(1) Residential property:
a. 58 dB(A) during residential quiet hours.
b. 65 dB(A) during all other times.

building or structure, including the use of any necessary tools or equipment, conducted
at any time other than during residential quiet hours, which activity produces a sound
