Noise Ordinance Passes
There has been much dispute about the noise ordinance reforms put before Tampa city council this week. The reforms would require businesses in the flourishing SoHo district to keep their volume below 55 decibels after 10pm. The ordinance reform wouldn’t impact Channelside, Ybor or any downtown establishments.

SoHo is surrounded by historic residences and many who live in the surrounding communities complain about music blasting through their living and bedrooms at unreasonable hours during the night. Many council members urged businesses and residents to work together to reach an amicable solution that works for both parties. With the businesses in the area doing so well, local owners fear that a new noise ordinance could put a damper on the growth and force late night customers elsewhere.
Local musicians could also be put out of gigs should the reforms take permanent effect in the city. A petition circulated online before the meeting on Thursday morning in opposition to the revisions. 1,746 Tampa Bay area citizens had signed before the meeting began. Those in opposition to the changes state that 55 decibels is ludicrous volume limit. Several business owners noted that traffic alone violates such an rule.
While the council did wind up passing the new requirements, they have agreed to bring it back up for debate at a future workshop next month.
