The City of Moorpark's own noise ordinance, Municipal Code § 17.53.080, caps exterior sound at the receiving property line: 65 dB(A) any time in the M-1 industrial park zone, 70 dB(A) in M-2 limited industrial, and 55 dB(A) overnight at homes.
Moorpark's noise chapter, Municipal Code § 17.53.080 (Ordinance 515, 2023), sets exterior limits in Table 4 by receiving land use, measured at any other property. Single-family and multifamily residential, rural, and agricultural zones: 60 dB(A) daytime (7:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.) and 55 dB(A) overnight (10:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m.). General commercial and planned development: 65 day, 60 night. Industrial Park (M-1): 65 dB(A) any time. Limited Industrial (M-2): 70 dB(A) any time. Pure-tone, repetitive, or speech-carrying noise drops the limit 5 dB. A data center's cooling towers, chillers, and generators are modeled against the nearest receiver's limit - the residential 55 dB(A) overnight floor binds where industry abuts homes.
Noise over the § 17.53.080 limits is a violation enforced by Moorpark's Community Development Director through warnings, citations, and abatement, and can breach noise conditions on a data center's Planned Development permit.
