§ 6.104. Certification of Noise Attenuation.

A.

Certification. Prior to issuance of a building permit in any airport noise overlay area, a certification by an acoustical engineer or registered architect shall be required specifying that construction practices and the materials of the structure will achieve the interior noise level required by the noise attenuation standards indicated in Section 6.104-B. The engineer or architect shall submit relevant information to permit the City building officials to verify that the proposed measures will achieve interior noise level standards.

B.

Noise Attenuation Standards. The noise level reduction measures must be incorporated into the design and construction of the principal buildings where people work or are otherwise received, in order to achieve a maximum interior noise level of forty-five (45) decibels. This requirement includes all offices and areas which serve the public. Any land use within a building with a self-generated noise level in excess of forty-five (45) decibels is not subject to this standard.

1.

Airport Noise Overlay-1-Noise Level Reduction of twenty (20) decibels.

2.

Airport Noise Overlay-2-Noise Level Reduction of twenty-five (25) decibels.

3.

Airport Noise Overlay-3-Noise Level Reduction of thirty (30) decibels.

C.

Inaccurate Data. False or inaccurate data shall be cause for rendering null and void any building permits and may result in non-issuance of an occupancy permit.

D.

City Liability. The City of Glendale, its employees and officers shall not be held liable for any permit issued on the basis of false information.
