The Peachtree Corners City Council will revisit a proposed amendment to the city noise ordinance at Tuesday evening’s city council meeting. The amendment proposes to limit the hours of operation for lawn maintenance equipment and trash hauling vehicles and extends construction hours.
Additions to the noise ordinance restrict the operation of trash trucks or garbage vehicles before 7 a.m. or after 10 p.m. weekdays and prior to 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. on weekends. The noise ordinance changes also prohibit the use of domestic power tools and motorized lawn maintenance equipment including grass mowers and leaf blowers before 7:30 a.m. and after 9 p.m. weekdays and before 9 a.m. and after 9 p.m. weekends and holidays.
Revisions will also allow construction or repair of buildings between 8 a.m. and 8 pm. on Saturdays with the approval of the city manager. This approval may be rescinded if complaints are received.
