Summary
Jurupa Valley enforces its own noise chapter, Municipal Code Chapter 11.05, capping exterior sound at 55 dBA daytime and 45 dBA overnight at residential property, and 75 dBA on light industrial land. Heating and air conditioning equipment is exempt.
No person shall create any sound, or allow the creation of any sound, on any property that causes the exterior sound level on any other occupied property to exceed the sound level standards set forth in Table 1 of this section or that violates the special sound source standards set forth in Section 11.05.060.
Full Breakdown
Section 11.05.040 bars sound that causes the exterior level on any other occupied property to exceed Table 1. Limits are maximum sound level (Lmax), set by general plan land use designation: every residential designation is 55 dBA from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 45 dBA overnight; commercial 65/55; light industrial 75/55; heavy industrial 75 dBA at all hours; business park 65/45. Section 11.05.020(12) exempts "Heating and air conditioning equipment," the same carve-out Riverside County makes, which places data center cooling outside the chapter. Generators and other plant stay subject to Table 1.
Violations & Fines
Noise over the Table 1 limits is enforced under Chapter 1.20 administrative penalties: $200 for a first violation, then $500, $750, and $1,000 within 366 days.
