SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 14-033, revising City of Fort Pierce Code of Ordinances, Chapter 11, Sections 11-48 and 11-52 with respect to noise control. FIRST READING
SUMMARY:
The police department has worked with the City Attorney's Office to draft revisions to City of Fort Pierce Code of Ordinance, Chapter 11, Sections 11-48 and 11-52 with respect to noise control. The revised ordinance establishes specific noise levels, as measured by a sound meter, that constitute violation within residential and commercial zones. It also retains the City's existing prohibition against noise that disrupts residential neighborhoods after 11:00 p.m.
The police department has already obtained the sound measurement equipment and training required to enforce the revised ordinance. Therefore, there is no additional fiscal impact.
