Commercial properties adjacent to residential zones must keep noise below 65 dBA daytime and 60 dBA nighttime at the property line. Loading docks, HVAC, and generators require screening or attenuation.
Orange County Code Chapter 15 sets mixed-use boundary standards. Warehouses near Orlando International Airport (MCO) and along the Beachline (SR-528) must comply with transition zone limits. Theme park back-of-house and tourism corridor venues receive blanket variances tied to their Planned Development approvals.
