Industrial noise in unincorporated San Diego County is addressed through the county noise ordinance and conditional use permit conditions. The County Noise Ordinance establishes standards by zone.
San Diego County's Noise Ordinance (Section 36.401 et seq.) establishes noise level limits by zone. Industrial operations exceeding limits at residential property lines are subject to enforcement. CUPs for industrial uses near residential areas include noise conditions. The county noise control officer handles complaints. Contact Code Enforcement at (858) 694-2705.
Exceeding noise limits: code enforcement citation. CUP violations: permit enforcement by Planning. Noise ordinance violations carry fines per the county's administrative penalty schedule.
