LEGEND
Land use and related structures are not compatible and shall be prohibited.
Ax, Bx, and CX
Land use generally compatible with NLR. However, measures to achieve an
overall noise level reduction do not necessarily solve noise difficulties and
additional evaluation is warranted. See appropriate footnotes.
NOTES
11. a. Residential use is discouraged in DNL 66 -75dB and prohibited in DNL above
75db.
b. Where residential uses are allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor Noise
Level Reduction (NLR) to DNL 65dB shall be incorporated and considered in
individual approvals. The Building Official shall be responsible for determining
adequacy of attenuation measures.
NLR criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems. However, building location and
site planning and design, and use of berms and barriers may help mitigate outdoor
exposure, particularly from near ground level sources. Measures that reduce outdoor
noise shall be used whenever practical in preference to measures which only protect
interior spaces. Such measures shall be indicated on a site plan and evaluated prior to
approval of the required permit.
SECTION 2. It is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at
which this ordinance was passed was open to the public as required by law.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 7th day of March 2000.
