The Code:
Based on ECC 5.30.110 Sounds exempt during daytime hours:
Section B. Sounds originating from temporary construction sites as a result of construction activity are exempt from the provisions of
this chapter, but only during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, excluding
Sundays and federal holidays.
5.30.120 Variances.
A. Variances maybe granted to any person from any requirement of ECC 5.30.040 (maximum permissible sound levels) or 5.30.110
if findings are made that immediate compliance with such requirement cannot be achieved because of special circumstances
rendering immediate compliance unreasonable in light of economic or physical factors, encroachment upon an existing noise
source or because of non -availability of feasible technology or control methods.
B. Any such variance or renewal thereof shall be granted only for the minimum time period found to be necessary under the facts and
circumstances.
C. Variances shall be processed as a Type 1 permit procedure under ECDC 20.01.003.13, while using the criteria found in subsection
A of this section. Factors to be balanced in the process include those identified as follows:
1. Public convenience — Will the work result in significant delays for transportation, services, or other customer needs if done only
during the day and within the hour restrictions set out in other parts of this chapter?
2. Public Safety — Does working outside of normally allowed significantly improve safety conditions for the traveling public and/or
construction workers?
3. Public exposure — What will be the setting for any proposed work outside of regular hours? Is it located on an arterial street or in
a mostly residential area?
4. Public cost — Does a limited amount of authorized outside of regular hours established by this chapter save the public
significant cost compared to daytime work?
5. Noise reduction measures -- Have all reasonable steps been taken to reduce the impact of any necessary noise outside the
standard hours? Answering this question needs to include evaluation of (1) limiting the night time or early morning work to only
that necessary to reasonably mitigate the issues identified above, (2) use of quiet generators and quiet pumps (as available),
(3) drilling and placing of piles instead of driving them, as well as use of other techniques, design choices, and acoustic control
equipment and strategies necessary to minimize the night-time or early morning impacts from construction noise.
D. The grant of a variance shall not relieve any person from the requirements of ECC 5.30.130 relating to public disturbance noises.
A Temporary Construction Site is defined as the location of a development -related construction project being performed under a
City -issued permit, where required.
Procedures:
For Private Development -related Projects, applications for a noise variance shall be submitted to the Development Services
Department no later than 2 weeks prior to the requested activity, or as otherwise deemed appropriate by the director. An earlier date is
strongly recommended because approval could take longer if necessary if information is unclear or missing or the department needs
additional time to consider relevant factors. Applications must be accompanied by documentation and rationale sufficient to identify the
date(s) and time for which the variance is being requested and to demonstrate compliance with the criteria set forth in the ordinance.
The director or designee shall render a determination based on the authority under ECC 5.30.120. Approval or denial shall be in writing.
Fees:
The fee amount shall be that as established in the current department fee schedule for a Type 1 Staff Decision (currently $315 which
includes a technology fee) and is payable upon application. Refunds will not be available once a determination has been made,
whether approval or denial.
