Camarillo's noise ordinance, Chapter 10.34, caps sound at the receptor property line using the ambient level plus an increment. Base exterior limits are 65 dBA day and 55 dBA night on industrial land, and 55/45 dBA at homes, with a hard 45 dBA residential cap overnight.
Camarillo Municipal Code Section 10.34.040 sets exterior noise standards by receiving noise zone: residential 55 dBA (7 a.m.-9 p.m.) and 45 dBA (9 p.m.-7 a.m.); commercial and industrial 65 dBA day, 55 dBA night; agricultural 55/45. Noise may exceed the base level only briefly - ambient plus 5 dBA over 20 minutes, plus 10 dBA over 10 minutes, or plus 15 dBA for one minute in any hour. A hard 45 dBA cap protects homes overnight (Section 10.34.040(C)). A "fixed noise source" expressly includes generators, air-conditioners, compressors, and refrigeration equipment (Section 10.34.020), so a data center's cooling and backup power must comply. Standby generators are exempt during outages, maintenance, or testing.
Noise over the Section 10.34.040 limits is a misdemeanor enforced by Community Development through notices of violation, abatement orders, and nuisance injunctions; a permitted data center also breaches its noise conditions.
