Sounds necessary and incidental to permitted uses in Rialto's commercial and industrial zones are exempt from the noise ordinance, but Renaissance Specific Plan standards bar operations next to residential areas from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and loading from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Section 9.50.060 exempts sounds generated in commercial and industrial zones that are necessary and incidental to the uses permitted there, and refers commercial and industrial performance standards to Title 18 (zoning). Within the Renaissance Specific Plan area, business development standards prohibit commercial or industrial activity immediately adjacent to residentially zoned areas between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., ban loading activities between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., limit diesel engine and auxiliary power idling to five minutes, and require anti-idling signage citing 13 CCR 2485. Citywide, Section 9.50.050 restricts loading, unloading, and forklift operation causing impulsive or raucous noise within 1,000 feet of a residence to 7:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.
Citywide controlled-hours violations are infractions with $250 to $1,000 fines under Sections 9.50.110 and 9.50.130. Renaissance Specific Plan operational standards are enforced through the city's planning entitlements and code enforcement.
