Abstract
The proposed conversion of an existing commercial building into a veterinary hospital was met by stiff opposition from the adjacent homeowners. They feared that offensive noises and odors would emanate from the building. In this paper, the roles of the hospital owners, their lawyers, and acoustical consultants; the residents, their lawyers, and their acoustical consultants; and the planning commission and their representatives are discussed. Criteria used to evaluate the severity of the potential nuisance, measured ambient noise levels, and predicted interior noise levels are presented. The architectural modifications incorporated into the building to control noise are evaluated. Costs incurred by the owners and the residents are discussed.
