Full Breakdown
Chapter 19.44 governs Perris's Business Park (BP), Light Industrial (LI) and General Industrial (GI) zones. Section 19.44.070(b)(1) requires on-site noise be controlled so it stays compatible with surrounding land uses, and any proposed use that may generate noise during evening hours, 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., must submit a detailed noise assessment and plan addressing and mitigating the potential impacts before development plan approval. There is no fixed decibel ceiling in the text; the standard is enforced through the discretionary development plan review process rather than a citation for exceeding a specific number.
Violations & Fines
Unpermitted or non-conforming industrial noise sources found during development review or code enforcement are Code violations under § 1.16.010: a misdemeanor (up to $1,000 fine, six months jail) or an infraction starting at $100.
