A new sound ordinance proposal could help some San Antonio residents sleep better, but it could have a bigger impact on businesses that play outdoor music.
David Uhler, president of the Beethoven Männerchor, has concerns about some of the language in the final draft of the Sound Music Cities
to the City of San Antonio. A sound expert was hired to look at the city’s noise complaints and recommend how to tackle the problems.“Right now, as I’m talking, it is reading at about 74-73 decibels,” he said, using a professional decibel reader. “Have you been here before? We had a rock band here. We’ve got a concert band. We’ve got a big band, a swing band that plays here. And, you know, you can get a little loud.
“We’re located in the heart of a residential area. They talk about businesses that are within 100 feet or have a certain number of restrictions. We haven’t had that,” Uhler said. “We’ve been a good neighbor all along. We follow the ordinance recommendations of some decibels up to certain hours, and if they start to go ahead and restrict that, we get a little bit nervous.”
The draft is a recommendation the task force can consider taking to the next phase. On Tuesday, the task force held off on a vote until they could hear from more businesses that would be impacted by possible changes.Restricted hours of operation and decibel levels based on the establishment’s proximity to a home
Mike Shannon, with the city of San Antonio, said staff attorneys would have to look at the language and consider costs and if a grandfather clause would apply.The next meeting has not yet been announced, but Shannon says it should be before the end of the month. Many phases need to occur before an actual ordinance heads to the council for a vote, but it might be by the beginning of next year.
