Elk Grove, CA Filming & Production: Production Noise (2026)

It is not uncommon for motion picture productions to necessitate or otherwise result in the disruption of motor vehicle traffic, the unusual utilization of public facilities, the employment of actual or potentially dangerous explosives or other activity which could endanger public safety, the creation of noise which disturbs the public quiet or convenience, the attraction of crowds of sightseers, or other circumstances which require the commitment of public resources in order to ensure adequate protection of the health, safety and welfare of the community. The purposes of this article are to provide for the licensing of motion picture productions in order to ensure that necessary public resources are provided at the times and in the manner required to protect the health, safety and welfare; that the licensee bears the cost of such public resources; and that the motion picture productions are otherwise conducted under conditions and in a manner which avoids risk to the health, safety or welfare of the community.
