News Hearing about outdoor noise ordinance today

Posted By on Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 10:55 AM

At noon today, the Charlotte Community Safety Committee is scheduled to discuss Charlotte's noise ordinance. The committee would like to propose changes to the ordinance that would have a serious impact on outdoor music events in the city.

Among the changes being discussed:

- It shall be unlawful to operate or allow the operation of any sound amplification equipment so as to create sounds registering 55 db between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. or 50 db between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. except in accordance with a permit. The permits are also limiting to 15 hours per year.

For restaurants and bars:

- No live outdoor amplified music within 400 feet of residential zoning.

The meeting takes place at noon at 600 E. 4th Street, Room 280.
