On the agenda

Item 2.d

Noise ordinance — amplified outdoor music (plainly audible distance)

Staff proposed amending Town Code Sec. 24-182 so that, for permit holders, the plainly-audible standard would be measured at 100 feet rather than 50 feet, and discussed best practices described as a safe harbor. Live music downtown: outdoor amplified music rules.

It was the consensus of Council to have a future work session discussion on potential amendments to the noise ordinance that includes benchmarking ordinances from other jurisdictions, looking at technologies available to help reduce the sound impacts to neighboring properties, and includes Police Department input.
