Peachtree Corners to Consider Noise Ordinance

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA -- The Peachtree Corners city council is expected to consider an amendment to the city's noise ordinance when it meets Tuesday evening.

The amendment would limit the hours of operation for lawn maintenance equipment and trash hauling vehicles, while extending construction hours, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Under the proposed changes, trash trucks would be restricted to operating from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.-9 p.m. on weekends.

The use of domestic power tools and lawn maintenance equipment with motors would be restricted to between 7:30 a.m.-9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m.-9 p.m. on weekends.

But construction and building repair work would be allowed from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. on Saturdays under a proposed change. That approval could be rescinded if complaints are received.
