Waivers from maximum allowable noise level limits may only be granted for noises created within an industrial or commercial zone by operations which were in existence on the effective date of the ordinance from which this article derives.

(3)

Waivers may be issued for no longer than 180 days, renewable by further application to the county administrator.

(b)

Any party feeling aggrieved by the denial of the application for waiver by the county administrator may appeal such denial to the board of county commissioners, such appeal to be filed within 30 days from the date of denial.
