Ordinance 13757 amends the Des Moines Municipal Code to establish noise regulations by repealing and re-enacting Sections 16-139, 16-140, and 16-144. The ordinance prohibits noise disturbances and sets maximum permissible sound levels based on zoning category and time of day, ranging from 50-75 decibels (dBA) depending on whether the receiving land use is residential, commercial, industrial, or a noise-sensitive area. The regulations include exemptions for emergency signaling devices, amplified sound, motorized vehicles, construction, and certain domestic power tools operating between 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M.
