§ 47-9.23. Application of standards to proposed uses.

A.

Noise.

1.

In order to determine if a proposed use will comply with the required noise standards, a noise study shall be submitted of the same use at a different location, with noise levels documented as follows:

a.

For a two week period, on at least one peak day of use during the week and one peak day of use during the weekend, noise levels shall be documented from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., noon to 2:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., 10:00 p.m. to midnight and 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.

b.

If the proposed use has seasonal peak usage, noise levels for the similar use shall also be documented during the peak and off-peak seasons, for a two week period, on one peak day of use during the week and one peak day of use during the weekend, as described above.

If the noise study indicates that a similar use exceeds the required maximum noise levels, the site plan shall reflect design features which are intended to reduce the noise levels to those required, and the noise study shall include documentation of similar uses which employed these design features to successfully reduce noise levels.

2.

The DRC may require the noise study to be reviewed by an independent consultant contracted by the city to determine whether the required noise levels will be met. The cost of review by said consultant shall be reimbursed to the city by the applicant.
