Ms. Ott pointed out that by and large, moving along that edge between the Core Area and the Transition Area, particularly along the west/Peters Avenue side, the Task Force tried to follow property lines; however, in one or two instances, the property lines were split as in the back parking lot that runs behind Blue Agave and Fernando's as well as in the Bank of America lot. • The proposed outdoor music hours (for outdoor music as a permitted accessory use), and if these are appropriate. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he was fine with the hours. Commissioner Olson inquired what the hours were and requested staff to restate them. Ms. Ott put up the slide on the screen and indicated that the hours for outdoor music, is until 9:00 p.m. ail days of the week in both the Central Core and in the Transition Area. Commissioner Narum stated she was fine with it. She added that she thinks it is worth noting that, in her recollection, there was significant discussion about allowing it seven days a week in the Transition Area; the members took a couple of different votes and they were not unanimous but still the majority. Ms. Ott noted that was her recollection as well. Commissioner Olson indicated that he was fine with it. Commissioner Blank stated he was fine with it. Commissioner Pearce stated that she was fine with it but expressed concern about the seven days a week in terms of noise as opposed to music. Commissioner Blank asked Commissioner Pearce if she would care if the noise is 60 dBA. Commissioner Pearce said no. Chair Pentin agreed with the Commissioners. The next two bullet points were considered together. • Should the proposed increase in the existing allowable noise levels for music and entertainment Downtown be reduced (for example, to limit potential noise at residential units within /near the proposed Downtown Hospitality Area? • If the proposed maximum noise level (74 dBA) hours should be further limited (to decrease the potential day /night noise level for residential units within /near the Downtown Hospitality Area).
