ATTACHMENT 2 —
ZTA- 2011 -00006 Phase I Noise Amendment Work Session — Recommendation
Several Commissioners asked staff to consider incorporating the following
suggestions /comments in the Chapter 7 Noise Regulations:
Concern expressed about the audibility enforcement standard saying "from inside a
dwelling unit" and suggested that it say "from inside a habitation unit" instead of calling it
a dwelling and hopefully in most situations noise would not actually interfere with the
behavior and the condition of animals.
Suggestion — "that not within 100 feet of the property line but either inside or in the
proximity to the home" so that essentially someone could use their patio or deck area
that would be along the same lines as the primary dwelling unit.
The Planning Commission, by a vote of 5:0, recommends adoption of the draft ordinance found
in Attachment D as recommended by staff.
