§ 15.36.190. Time of grading operations.

Grading and equipment operations within one-half (½) mile of a structure for human occupancy shall not be conducted between the hours of five-thirty (5:30) p.m. and seven-thirty (7:30) a.m. nor on Saturdays, Sundays and City-recognized holidays. The City Engineer may, however, permit grading or equipment operations during specific hours after five-thirty (5:30) p.m. or before seven-thirty (7:30) a.m. or on Saturdays, Sundays and City-recognized holidays if he or she determines that such operations are not detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the inhabitants of such a structure. Permitted hours of operation may be shortened by the City Engineer's finding of a previously unforeseen effect on the health, safety or welfare of the surrounding community.
