Outdoor music at Corona parks, restaurants, and event venues requires either a Conditional Use Permit condition or a Special Event Permit, and must comply with the 50-foot audibility rule and applicable decibel limits. The Corona Historic Civic Center and Main Street area host periodic city-sponsored outdoor concerts.
Outdoor music in Corona is regulated under the noise standards in Corona Municipal Code Chapter 9.36 along with the special event provisions in MC Chapter 5.42. Restaurants in the Historic Downtown along Main Street and the Civic Center District that wish to host outdoor live or amplified music must obtain a CUP amendment from the Planning Commission specifying performance hours, speaker placement, and decibel limits. Private outdoor events (weddings, quinceaneras, corporate functions) at facilities such as Eagle Glen Golf Club or hillside estate venues are typically conditioned to end amplified music by 10 p.m. Outdoor music at city parks, including ribbon-cuttings and the city's own Concerts in the Park series at City Park, is administered through the Library and Recreation Services Department. Pop-up performances on private property such as backyard bands during a Super Bowl or graduation party are subject to the general 50-foot audibility rule and the 10 p.m. nighttime standard, and Corona PD has discretion to terminate amplified entertainment that generates verified neighborhood complaints. Permanent outdoor speaker installations at commercial properties must be aimed away from residential zones and use sound-limiting amplifiers reviewed at plan check.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
