Consider amending and re-enacting Section 15-3-2(b), 15-3-2(c)(7), 15-3-2(d)(4) and enacting Section 15-3-2(c)(8) and 15-3-3 of the Harrisonburg City Code in regard to the noise ordinance and mass outdoor social gatherings
body
Presented By: City Attorney Brown
Recommendation and Review
This request is to amend Section 15-3-2 to add several definitions, including the definition of mass outdoor social gathering, amend requirements related to large party nuisance to make requirements applicable all day instead of from 10pm to 7am. This request is to also enact a new ordinance, Section 15-3-3 regulating mass outdoor social gatherings. This section will require a permit for outdoor parties at which more than 100 people are invited, expected, or actually attend and in which sound amplifying equipment is used.
