the receiver's property.
In general, the microphone shall be located four
to five feet above the ground; 10 feet or more from
the nearest reflective surface where possible. How-
ever, in those cases where another elevation is
deemed appropriate, the latter shall be utilized. If

within the affected residential unit. The measure-
ments shall be made at a point at least four feet
from the wall, ceiling, or floor nearest the noise

source, with windows in the normal seasonal con-
figuration. Calibration of the measurement equip-
ment, utilizing an acoustic calibration, shall be
performed immediately prior to recording any
noise data. [Ord. 772 § 17.78.050, 1986. Code
1987 § 17.78.0501.

Receiving Land Use.
1. The noise standards for the various cate-
gories of land use identified by the Noise Control
Office(r) as presented in Table 1 shall, unless oth-
erwise specifically indicated, apply to all such
property within a designated zone.
2. No person shall operate, or cause to be
operated, any source of sound at any location
within the incorporated City or allow the creation
of any noise on property owned, leased, occupied
or otherwise controlled by such person, which
causes the noise level when measured on any other
property, either incorporated or unincorporated, to
exceed:
a. The noise standard for that land use as
specified in Table 1 for a cumulative period of
more than 30 minutes in any hour; or
b. The noise standard plus five dB for a
cumulative period of more than 15 minutes in any
hour; or
c. The noise standard plus 10 dB for a
cumulative period of more than five minutes in any
hour; or
d. The noise standard plus 15 dB for a
cumulative period of more than one minute in any
hour; or
e. The noise standard plus 20 dB or the
maximum measured ambient level, for any period
of time.
3. If the measured ambient level differs from
that permissible within any of the fast four noise
limit categories above, the allowable noise expo-
sure standard shall be adjusted in five dB incre-
ments in each category as appropriate to
encompass or reflect said ambient noise level.
In the event the ambient noise level exceeds the
fifth noise limit category, the maximum allowable
noise level under this category shall be increased to
reflect the maximum ambient noise level
4. If the measurement location is on a bound-
ary between two different zones, the noise level

for signs in these districts. [Ord. 937, 1992. Code
