Industrial noise in unincorporated Ventura County is addressed through Division 13 nuisance abatement and the VCAPCD for air-quality-related equipment noise. Operations creating a nuisance to residential areas are subject to enforcement by Code Compliance.
Ventura County does not have a specific industrial noise ordinance with decibel limits. Industrial operations creating noise that constitutes a nuisance to nearby residential areas are addressed through Division 13 (Abatement of Public Nuisances). The VCAPCD at (805) 645-1400 regulates noise from certain industrial equipment related to air quality (compressors, generators). Conditional Use Permits for industrial operations near residential areas typically include noise conditions. The nighttime noise prohibition in §6299 applies only to residential zones, not to noise originating from properly zoned industrial areas.
Industrial operations creating a nuisance may face abatement proceedings under Division 13. Violations of CUP noise conditions trigger enforcement by Planning at (805) 654-2488. VCAPCD violations carry separate penalties.
