Full Breakdown
on weekends. This directly covers early-morning delivery trucks, garbage trucks, and commercial restocking that back up to loading docks in residential-adjacent commercial areas. A companion subsection, Sec. 13-93(g), separately bars loading or unloading a vehicle, or opening or destroying bales, boxes, crates or other containers, in a manner that creates excessive or offensive noise, without the time-of-day limitation, so daytime container handling that is unreasonably noisy can still be cited. Both were enacted by Ord. No. 06-32 (9-5-06, Supp. 2006-03) and amended by Ord. No. 2017-15, § 35 (4-4-17). on a Saturday.
Violations & Fines
Loud loading or unloading noise from a delivery vehicle during the restricted hours, 10:00 p.m.-6:00 a.m. weekdays or 11:00 p.m.-8:00 a.m. weekends, is a per se violation of Sec. 13-93(f), citable by Peoria police or code enforcement against the business or driver responsible.
