What happened
League City City Council will vote at its Oct. 28 meeting to approve the final reading of an ordinance that would create a special event sound permit process and generally prohibit unreasonable noise, with some exceptions.
The council previously voted 6-1 to approve the ordinance at its Oct. 14 meeting, with council member Tommy Cones casting the sole vote against the ordinance.
The details
In determining whether noise is unreasonable, consideration may be given to the frequency, duration and recurrence of the sound in addition to its volume and location, according to previous reporting from Community Impact.
The city will presume amplified sound generated during nighttime hours, 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., in residential areas to be unreasonable, according to city documents.
The city will permit amplified sound that would otherwise be prohibited if the noise is part of an event for which organizers have secured a special event sound permit, according to city documents.
What else?
City council will also vote to approve contracts for several public works projects and city programs, including street lights, library materials, and vehicles for first responders, according to agenda documents.
Stay tuned
The council will meet at 6 p.m. Oct. 28 at Council Chambers, 200 W. Walker St., League City.
