Full Breakdown
Sec. ' The 300-foot buffer means the restriction reaches beyond residentially zoned parcels themselves, covering commercially zoned landscaping crews or public grounds crews working near a residential district after hours. Unlike the construction-noise curfew in Sec. 13-85(b), the landscape-noise rule carries no variance process, so there is no mechanism in the code for a homeowner or landscaping company to get after-hours permission to run a mower or blower. window as a resident cutting their own grass. General noise exclusions in Sec. 13-84, such as the carve-out for industrial uses in industrial zoning districts, do not extend to landscape equipment used near residential districts, since Sec. 13-85(a) is a standalone time restriction rather than a distance/audibility test like the rest of Article V.
Violations & Fines
Operating landscape equipment during the banned hours is a misdemeanor under Sec. 13-88, with the municipal court judge able to order the equipment's use abated on top of, or instead of, the misdemeanor penalty. The general penalty at Sec. 1-7 applies for sentencing: a fine up to $1,000.00, imprisonment up to 12 months, or both, and each day of a continuing violation counts as a separate offense.
