A. Outdoor events open to the general public on nonresidential property, such as parades, rallies, fairs, concerts and special sales and promotional events, involving generation of noise levels higher than would normally occur, by use of the human voice, public address systems, musical instruments, electronic amplification systems, and similar soundproducing activities, are allowed upon obtaining an appropriate permit from the city, and subject to the following general limitations:
1. The event shall not produce noise levels above seventy dBA on any residential property for a period longer than three hours during daytime.
2. The event shall not produce noise levels above sixty dBA on any residential property during the period from eight p.m. to eleven p.m., and above fifty-five dBA for any other nighttime period.
3. Continuous or repeated peak noise levels above ninety-five dBA shall not be produced at any location where persons may be continuously exposed.
B. The conditions imposed upon the event or activity in the permit issued by the City, regarding maximum noise level, location of noise sources, or duration of activity, for example, may be more limiting than this section, to protect certain individuals, areas or nearby activities which would otherwise be disturbed, and these permit conditions, when in conflict with this section, are overriding.
