Hesperia has no local aircraft noise ordinance. Aircraft noise from Hesperia Airport (L26) and overflights from Southern California Logistics Airport (KVCV) in nearby Victorville is governed by federal FAA rules and California Public Utilities Code section 21669, not Hesperia Municipal Code.
Federal Aviation Administration regulations (49 U.S.C. ch. 471) preempt local regulation of aircraft in flight. California Public Utilities Code section 21669 directs the Caltrans Division of Aeronautics to adopt noise standards governing aircraft operations at permitted airports, with 65 CNEL set as the boundary of an unacceptable level of aircraft noise exposure for residential and other noise-sensitive land uses. Hesperia Airport (L26), a basic-utility general aviation field roughly 3 miles south of downtown Hesperia, is owned and operated by the County of San Bernardino. Per the San Bernardino County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for Hesperia Airport, the 65 CNEL noise contour stays inside the airport's existing boundary, so adjoining residential parcels are below the State 65 CNEL threshold. Hesperia Municipal Code Title 16 section 16.08.545 (Noise contour) sets the local definition used for development-review purposes around the airport.
Hesperia Code Enforcement and Sheriff's Station deputies do not cite aircraft operators. Pilot complaints (low altitude, unsafe operation) go to the FAA Flight Standards District Office; airport-operations complaints go to San Bernardino County (airport sponsor); statewide aircraft noise enforcement at permitted airports is administered by Caltrans Aeronautics under PUC 21669.
