<H4 CLASS="MsoNormal">What is the Noise Element?</H4>
The Noise Element is a mandatory chapter of the City of Long Beach General Plan. It sets forth policies regarding noise and land use throughout the City and was last updated in 1975. Since that time, the City’s physical makeup, population, regional context, and the regulatory guidance around noise have changed significantly. In 2017, the City invited all members of the public to participate in updating the Noise Element.
The objective of the Noise Element is to create and maintain a healthy noise environment in Long Beach.
