Introduced by Council Member Redman: ORDINANCE 2013-8-W AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 191 (SPECIAL EVENTS), ORDINANCE CODE, TO DELETE 12 TICKET EVENTS AT METROPOLITAN PARK FROM THE ACTIVITIES SUBJECT TO PART 2 (ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT), OF CHAPTER 191 (SPECIAL EVENTS), ORDINANCE CODE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, Chapter 191 was amended by Ordinance 2005-453-E to establish an Entertainment District and to create a new Part 2 for special events and to establish activity periods for special events in the Entertainment District; and WHEREAS, Ordinance 2005-453-E also waived provisions of Chapter 368, Noise Control, and Environmental Protection Board Rule 4, Noise Pollution Control, which would otherwise apply to fireworks and outdoor musical entertainment held during those enumerated special events located in the Entertainment District Activity Periods; and WHEREAS, “12 Ticket Events in Metropolitan Park” was designated under Section 191.202(a)(8), Ordinance Code, as a special event in which the noise control provisions of Chapter 368 and Environmental Protection Board Rule 4, Noise Pollution Control, do not apply; and WHEREAS, the situs of Metropolitan Park, immediately adjacent to the St. Johns River, creates an unique situation whereby the musical entertainment or other entertainment-based performances held at Metropolitan Park is audible not only to the surrounding areas of downtown, which is also located in the Entertainment District, but is directed and amplified to the opposite side of the St. Johns River, affecting residential neighborhood areas located in San Marco and St. Nicholas; and WHEREAS, these residential neighborhoods bear an inordinate burden when the musical and entertainment-based performances occupy Metropolitan Park without reasonable restrictions on the time, manner and place of the noise created by these special events; and WHEREAS, the lack of reasonable restrictions on the noise levels of special events at Metropolitan Park create an untenable situation for the residents of the residential neighborhoods of San Marco and St. Nicholas affected because of the extended and amplified noise conditions to which they have no ability to seek relief under the current provisions; now therefore BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Jacksonville: Section 1.
