(a) No person shall operate any vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine on private property within the City without a United States Forestry Service or State-approved spark arrestor or a noise-muffling device approved by the State.
(b) No person shall operate any vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine on private property within three hundred (300) feet of the exterior boundaries of any residential property, except where reasonably necessary upon his own property or property of others over which a lawful easement right is owned for purposes of ingress or egress.
(c) No person shall operate within the City any vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine beyond three hundred (300) feet of the exterior boundary of any residential property (whether on his own property or that of others) with equipment on such vehicle (or in such a manner) that the volume of the exhaust, sound, or motor noise is audible to the extent that such noise volume is so loud, raucous, or jarring as to be disturbing or a nuisance to the peace or quiet of any adjacent neighborhood or a person residing in an adjacent neighborhood or conducting a lawful business therein. There shall be a rebuttable presumption of compliance with the equipment requirements of this subsection if the vehicle is determined to be in compliance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this section.
