Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
N/A
PURPOSE:
To consider introduction of an ordinance to amend the City Code related to construction noise.
BACKGROUND:
Councilmember Campbell requested a future agenda item from the Mayor’s office in accordance with City Code § 2.04.280 to discuss the amendment or removal of the City Code section that regulates construction noise.
Lake Havasu City Code Chapter 9.30, Noise, contains the City’s regulations regarding noise. City Code Section 9.30.070 contains the noise regulations regarding construction of buildings and projects.
For discussion and further direction from the City Council, provided with this item is a proposed ordinance that removes the regulations regarding construction noise (Section 9.30.070) and provides a new exception to the noise code for noise related to construction work.
Construction work in Chapter 9.30 means operating construction-related equipment; performing outside construction work; performing outside repair work on buildings, structures or projects; and operating a pile driver, power shovel, pneumatic hammer, derrick, power hoist or other construction-type device. Construction work does not include operation of stereos, “boom boxes,” or other sound amplification devices; or arbitrary yelling, other than in response to a safety issue.
