Council tables Main Street code changes after debate over outdoor-music hours
Summary
Council members debated noise and outdoor-dining rules in Main Street form-based code amendments and discussed music curfews; the ordinance was tabled to the next meeting and will appear on the consent agenda.
Staff presented amendments to the Main Street Form Based Code to clarify noise limits, outdoor dining, cooking, lighting, signage, and building uses. Council members questioned the proposed end time for outdoor music; Council Member Heidi Robinson asked why music would end at 10:30 p.m. instead of 10 p.m., and Mayor Dustin Gettel suggested, "maybe it should be allowed until 11 pm instead of 10:30 pm," reflecting differing views on balancing nightlife and nearby residences.
Rather than adopt a final position, the council voted to table the ordinance and place it on the consent agenda for the next meeting so members could further consider the appropriate noise curfew and related clarifications.
