Irving Ch. 22 prohibits unreasonable noise from commercial and industrial operations that disturbs the peace of neighbors. Loading/unloading near residential areas restricted after 9 PM.
Irving Code Chapter 22 addresses commercial and industrial noise through general prohibitions on unreasonable noise. Loading and unloading of vehicles at a place of business adjacent to residential areas or at a residence is restricted after 9 PM. Sound measurements are made using the A-weighting network (dBA). Table 22-1 of the code establishes decibel standards for different land use zones. Manufacturing and industrial facilities must maintain noise levels that do not unreasonably disturb adjacent residential properties. Irving's zoning code separates industrial districts from residential areas, providing buffer zones. The Unified Development Code includes performance standards for noise-generating uses.
Class C misdemeanor. Fines up to $500 per occurrence. Each day a violation continues constitutes a separate offense.
