Entertainment commission lowers Halcyon's after-hours sound limit, removes some prior conditions after mediation
Summary

The San Francisco Entertainment Commission on April 2 revised conditions on Halcyon's permits following new acoustic testing and a sustained mediation process with neighbors.
Staff said ambient readings gathered with consultants JPM Acoustics support lowering the venue's internal sound limit for extended hours. Director Weiland told commissioners the office's revised recommendation was to maintain a 116 dBC limit for the Place of Entertainment permit and to reduce the extended-hours internal limit to 112 dBC between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. "We found that there was a difference between the levels," Director Weiland said, describing measurements taken before and after business hours.
