Is construction activity limited to specific times in Scottsdale?
Scottsdale Revised City Code Section 31-32, sub-section 116 – Construction Activity regulates the times construction activity may start and stop, with exceptions. Because we live in the High Sonoran Desert, the temperatures during the summer can be brutal. It is common practice in the hotter climates of the southwest to see construction crews on the job at the crack of dawn. In Scottsdale, construction activity may not start more than 30 minutes prior to official sun-rise and must stop at official sun-set as recorded daily by the National Weather Service. Certain work such as pouring a concrete must be done during the early hours of the morning. The builder may request a variance from the restricted hours from either the Building Official or the Building Inspection Manager. The request must state what times and days the work will be done. The builder must create a flyer notifying neighbors of this variance, the times and days, and distribute to all homeowners living near the project. T
