Full Breakdown

Table 16.502-C in Vallejo Municipal Code Section 16.502.09 sets maximum noise by noise zone. For Light Industrial and General Industrial, the level not to be exceeded more than 30 minutes in any hour is 75 dBA measured at the property line or district boundary, 65 dBA at any boundary of a residential zone, and 50 dBA or the ambient level between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Noise from an IG property is measured at the zoning district boundary. Chapter 7.84 nuisance rules also apply, and in a conflict the more restrictive provision controls.

Violations & Fines

Noise above the Table 16.502-C limits violates Title 16, and Chapter 7.84 lets the city issue warnings, administrative citations, and fines, and declares the condition a public nuisance.
