48.03 APPLICATION

This chapter applies to the control of noise producing activities and objects originating within the limits of the City or originating from properties lying outside the limits of the City owned or controlled by the City with a lease or other similar arrangement, except where:

1. Another ordinance, such as the Zoning Ordinance, provides for the noise control regulations;

2. A State or Federal agency has adopted a different standard or rule than that prescribed within this chapter and has so preempted the regulation of noise from a particular source as to render this chapter inapplicable thereto; or

3. The Council has determined that, by reason of public acceptance of the activity producing a particular noise, such noise is deemed acceptable to the residents of the City.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
