Commercial and industrial operations in Pickerington must meet zoning performance standards that limit noise at the property line of adjacent residential districts. HVAC, loading docks, and trash compactors are the most common complaint sources.
The zoning code requires commercial uses to avoid producing noise that is objectionable at the boundary of any residential district. Loading and trash pickup at businesses bordering residences are generally restricted to daytime hours. Rooftop HVAC units installed near homes may require acoustic screening as a condition of site plan approval.
Zoning enforcement letters precede citations. Unresolved violations are charged as misdemeanors with fines up to 250 dollars per day of continued non-compliance.
