Summary

After discussing enforceability and DRB (Development Review Board) implications, the Planning Commission chose to retain the noise standard as presented in the working draft rather than revert to the existing standard.

Commissioners discussed whether to revert to the current noise standard or keep the newly proposed standard in the working draft; they weighed pros and cons and enforcement practicality for the Development Review Board. After a lengthy discussion, the commission decided to leave the noise standard as currently presented in the working draft.

No formal motion to change the noise standard was passed; the decision recorded in the minutes is to retain the draft language. Staff will carry forward the working draft standard for later review and potential refinement.
