S /~ <br />~S - ~QU s .-osd <br />~ ~ ~~aoc~s <br />~5 9 <br />A RESOLUTION AND ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE FOR THE CONTROL OF NOISE <br />IN ORANGE COUNTY <br />WHEREAS, excessive noise is a serious hazard to the public health and welfare <br />and the quality of life in rural and developing areas of Orange County; and, <br />WHEREAS, a substantial body of science and technology exists by which <br />excessive noise can be substantially abated without serious inconvenience to the <br />public; and,. <br />WHEREAS, certain noise producing equipment in this community is essential to <br />the quality of life in a rural environment and should be allowed to continue at reasonable <br />levels and hours with moderate regulation; and, <br />WHEREAS,. each person has the right to an environment reasonably free from <br />noise which jeopardizes health, welfare, or which unduly interferes with a property <br />owner's right to the use or enjoyment of their property; and, <br />WHEREAS, it is recognized that residential land uses are more noise-sensitive <br />than commercial and industrial land uses; and, <br />WHEREAS, it is the declared policy of Orange County to promote an <br />environment free from excessive noise, otherwise properly called "noise pollution", <br />which unnecessarily jeopardizes the health and welfare and degrades the quality of the <br />lives of the residents of this community, without unduly prohibiting, limiting or otherwise <br />regulating the function of certain noise-producing sources which are not amenable to <br />such controls and yet are essential to the economy and quality of life of the community. <br />NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority provided in N.C. General Statute § <br />153A-121, § 153A-123 and § 153A-133, the Board of Commissioners of Orange County <br />hereby resolves and ordains as follows: <br />Article I: Definitions <br />In addition to the common meaning of words, the following definitions shall be <br />used in interpreting this Ordinance. <br />{~-} ANSI Standards: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Publication <br />ANSI, S1.4-1997 or the latest approved version thereof. <br />
