The Sebastopol City Council will discuss restrictions on leaf blowers Tuesday for the first time since a noise ordinance took effect last year setting the days and hours of allowed use and noise levels.

The city’s noise ordinance addresses leaf blowers as well as noise from other landscaping and construction machinery and activity.

The ordinance allows residential use from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and commercial use from 7a.m. to 4p.m. Monday through Friday. The noise level cannot exceed 70 decibels at 50 feet.

The City Council meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Sebastopol Youth Annex.
