CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
INTER‐OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:The Honorable Mayor,Vice Mayor,and Members of the City Commission
FROM:Genaro “Chip”Iglesias, City Manager
DATE:October 15,2024
SUBJECT:Noise Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:Adopt this ordinance to update noise regulations within the City in order to
enhance public health, safety, and welfare, while ensuring compliance with
necessary noise regulations within the City.
BACKGROUND:The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to update the City’s noise
regulations contained in Article III of Chapter 15.
ANALYSIS:Article III of Chapter 15 of the City’s Code regulates noise within the City.
Currently, Section 15-82 addresses the intensity of noise based on a plainly
audible standard where the noise is audible at 100 feet from the building,
structure, or premises in which or from which it is produced.
The proposed ordinance comprehensively amends and updates Article III to:
1.Create definitions for noise regulations under Section 15-79;
2.Amend Section 15-82 of the Code to establish permitted decibel levels for
noise which emanates from any building or premises, as measured from
the real property line by a sound level meter and establish allowable hours
for noise based on such standards, and exempting or limiting the
application of the noise restrictions within the Town Center and
Downtown SoMi district;
3.Repeal various outdated provisions and to relocate regulations relating to
graffiti to a more appropriate section of the Code as Section 15-2; and
4.Amend existing Section 15-96 to update enforcement and penalty
regulations and renumber such section as Section 15-85.
The cost to implement the new noise standards will include the purchase of
two sound level meters, approximately $500 each.
CONCLUSION:This ordinance is a proactive step toward improving the quality of life in South
Miami by ensuring noise levels are controlled and appropriately regulated.
These provisions aim to strike a balance between the everyday activities of
residents and businesses and the need to maintain a peaceful environment.
