(A) During a special event, noise sources including, but not limited to, sound amplification of music and entertainment must stop at 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 12:00 midnight, Friday and Saturday. These hours may be extended by the City Manager based on certain factors, including location of event and surrounding land use. The maximum permissible sound level for a special event is sixty-five (65) dB at the event boundary. If the adjacent land use is residential, the level of noise from the special event may not exceed fifty-five (55) dB at the property line of the residential property. These sound levels do not apply to show and ride attractions or fireworks.
(B) The City Manager may issue a permit that authorizes a special event, parade, or block party in conflict with Title IX, Chapter 92 (Noise Code), Palm Bay Code of Ordinances, or other applicable noise ordinances, only where the applicant has met all of the city's requirements for obtaining a permit as prescribed in this chapter and the special event, parade, or block party cannot be performed in compliance with the Noise Code. Such a permit must specify the precise manner by which the Noise Code may be exceeded, by what duration, and at what locations. Such permit authorization may be modified or revoked if in the discretion of the City Manager the authorization excessively negatively impacts the surrounding neighborhood. Having a permit shall not relieve the permit holder from compliance with all other applicable local, county, state, or federal laws.
