Equal-application hours rule, not fuel-source. Noise ordinance prohibits operation of mechanically powered tools (snow blowers excepted) between 9pm–7am weekdays and before 9am on weekends. Ordinance 20579 (October 27, 2025) comprehensively rewrote the landscape ordinance — regulating tree-lawn plantings (24-inch height cap + 36-inch flower stems), grass-height maximum (6 inches), noxious weeds, and tree-stump removal — without adding fuel-source provisions.
Enacted: 2025-10-27
The Sustainable Lawn Care guidance is advisory only: discouraging gas blowers ("60 minutes of gas leaf blower operation emits as much carbon monoxide as a car engine idling for 8 hours"), recommending rakes, battery-powered equipment, and home composting. Shaker Noise (shakernoise.org) is a local advocacy group active on noise issues but has not produced a fuel-source ordinance proposal adopted by Council.
