(a) Noise. In any premises where noise is an incident of any use permitted under this Zoning Code, such noise shall be confined to the premises of the use being conducted on the lot or parcel of property involved. In circumstances where existing uses may involve noises which are transmitted beyond the lot line of the lot upon which such use is conducted, the use involved shall be referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Board shall thereupon inquire into the circumstances producing such noise and determine with the occupant the economic means of reducing such noise to minimize nuisances to surrounding property. If the Board determines it helpful for the purpose of ascertaining the extent of the problem, it shall cause notice to be given to owners and occupants of surrounding property who shall be heard on the question of nuisances by noise, if any.
Authorization for public address systems and other means of attracting attention shall be in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 769 of the Business Regulation and Taxation Code.
(b) Light Glare. Glare from artificial lighting shall be confined to the premises upon which the same is situated, and lighting shall not be so arranged or used as to be directed to or upon or affect adjoining or nearby private or public property.
