Chesterfield County Attorney proposes eliminating special-event variances in Noise Ordinance
Summary
County Attorney Coleman R. Bryant informed council members of a proposal to remove the special event permit/variance process from the county's Noise Ordinance to set clearer late-evening noise standards; no formal action or vote was taken at the briefing.
County Attorney Coleman R. Bryant briefed Chesterfield County Council Feb. 17 on a proposed change to the county's Noise Ordinance that would eliminate the special-event permit and variance procedure for late-evening noise, with the stated goal of establishing clearer countywide standards.
Bryant described the proposal during the briefing but did not present draft ordinance language at the session and no vote, referral, or public hearing date was announced. Council members did not record a motion to adopt or to refer the proposal to a committee during the Feb. 17 briefing.
If Council chooses to pursue ordinance changes, the matter would follow the county's normal legislative process for local ordinances, including potential staff drafting, committee review and public notice prior to any final vote.
