Council introduced an ordinance amending municipal code chapter 9.24 to set uniform property‑maintenance hours (7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. seven days a week) and exempt homeowners performing maintenance on their own property; council opened the public hearing and approved introduction by vote 5–0.
The Palm Desert City Council introduced an ordinance on June 26 to amend Municipal Code chapter 9.24 (Noise Control) to establish uniform operating hours for property maintenance using powered equipment. The proposal sets operating hours at 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Sunday, and does not permit property maintenance on holidays. The ordinance also exempts property owners performing maintenance on their own property from certain provisions.
The amendment removes previously discussed, updated language related to agricultural operations and aligns contractor hours with industry standards, staff said. The ordinance was introduced and the council voted to proceed with the ordinance by a 5–0 roll call vote.
