Pico Rivera sets no industrial decibel standard in its noise chapter. Factory, warehouse, and commercial noise are regulated through the unnecessary-noise nuisance standard in PRMC 8.40.010 plus zoning and land-use controls.
PRMC Chapter 8.40 contains no numeric performance standard for industrial or commercial sound and no property-line dBA limit by zone. Industrial and business noise that is unnecessary and physically annoying to persons of ordinary sensitiveness is addressed under PRMC 8.40.010's general nuisance provision. Ongoing operational noise from a use is more typically managed through the city's zoning and land-use approvals, conditional-use permits, and property-maintenance nuisance rules than through a stand-alone industrial-noise metric. As an incorporated city, Pico Rivera applies its own code inside city limits rather than the Los Angeles County noise ordinance.
Industrial or commercial noise cited as a public nuisance under PRMC 8.40.010; chronic operational impacts also addressed through zoning conditions and conditional-use permit enforcement.
