Whereas, a noise study was conducted to determine the noise impact, if any, on the adjacent residential units.

This includes all forms of delivery, whether delivered by the distributors, agents, dealers, stores or consumers, by their own vehicles, by hired trucks, by common carriers or by other means, including time while waiting to load, unload, deliver, open, close or handle, and sounds or signals (including flashing lights) involved in backing up of such vehicles.
(a) Should any loading, unloading or deliveries occur before or after the above prescribed time, such activity may not exceed 70 decibels as read by a sound level meter at any point that is normally occupied as a residence.
Section 3. The section, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this ordinance are severable. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance is declared unconstitutional or invalid by a valid judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall not affect the validity of any other section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance. The city council declares that it is its intent that it would have enacted this ordinance without such invalid or unconstitutional provisions.
Section 4. The provisions of this ordinance repeal any prior ordinance or provision of the Gadsden City Code to the extent of any conflict.
