Recommendation Concerning the Limited Waiver of the Escambia County Noise Abatement Ordinance for the 2013 Gulf Coast Summer Fest at Casino Beach – Donald R. Mayo, Interim Building Official, Building Inspections Division
That the Board approve the application for a Special Event Permit for a limited waiver of the noise restrictions imposed by the Escambia County Noise Abatement Ordinance in conjunction with the outdoor event, Gulf Coast Summer Fest 2013, sponsored by Banks Enterprise, LLC, to be held at Casino Beach, Saturday, August 31, 2013, from 11:00 a.m. through 11:59 p.m. |
| BACKGROUND: |
| Escambia County Noise Abatement Ordinance Number 2001-8 (Escambia County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 42, Article III., Noise), was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on March 1, 2001, for the purpose of protecting, preserving, and promoting the health, safety, welfare, peace and quiet of the citizens of Escambia County through the reduction, control, and prevention of loud and raucous noise, or any noise which unreasonably disturbs, injures, or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace, or safety of reasonable persons of ordinary sensitivity. Subsequently, on August 3, 2001, the BCC adopted Escambia County Ordinance Number 2001-36 to amend Escambia County Ordinance Number 2001-8 in order to provide a means of exemption to the Noise Abatement Ordinance to allow a fair and just application of the Ordinance and grant limited waivers of the restrictions imposed by the Noise Abatement Ordinance to allow special outdoor events to take place in the community while still protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Escambia County, and promoting an environment free from sound and noise disruptive of peace and good order. |
