Description

Numerous studies have shown that mixed land uses, high density populations, and amenities for pedestrians can present challenges for achieving noise levels that protect citizens from the effects of noise. (1) Based on field investigations and anecdotal evidence of what appeared to be a combination of the above mentioned factors, the City of Jacksonville's Environmental Quality Division (EQD) decided to investigate whether zoning changes were having an impact on the increase in noise complaints. (2) The writers of this article examined noise complaints documented in the city's Citizen's Active Response Effort (CARE) system (3) and then researched the property appraiser's database (4) and city council legislation (5) in order to document those cases where a zoning change may have led to an incompatible use, resulting in noise complaints. The writers limited themselves to studying the noise complaints received between October 2006 and May 2007 that were documented in the city's CARE system. The majority of the complaints fit into one of four categories: dumpsters, nightclubs, residential equipment (pool pumps, air conditioners), and adjacent construction. Many of these complaints resulted in enforcement action being taken against the owner/operator of the noise source. A proactive approach to addressing these common noise issues would be a much preferred path rather than a regulatory reaction which may involve the imposition of penalties and the costs of corrective actions on trash haulers, landowners, and construction companies.
