Clovis has no local aircraft noise ordinance. The City is about 8 miles from Fresno Yosemite International Airport, and CMC 9.22.080(F)(4) exempts federally preempted activities.
Clovis sits northeast of Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley, roughly 8 miles from Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT). The City is generally outside the airport's primary noise contours and does not fall within a designated Airport Influence Area requiring special land use restrictions. CMC 9.22.080(F)(4) explicitly exempts any activity whose regulation has been preempted by federal or state law, which includes commercial aviation noise under FAA authority. The City's General Plan Noise Element addresses transportation noise compatibility standards, with Table 3-2 of CMC 9.22.080 referencing transportation noise standards separately from stationary source limits. Residents experiencing aircraft noise may file complaints with the FAT Airport Noise Office. The Sierra Sky Park community in nearby Fresno has its own airstrip, but it is outside Clovis city limits.
No local aircraft noise violations. Aircraft noise is federally preempted. Complaints may be directed to Fresno Yosemite International Airport noise office.
