Memo Noise and Amplified Sound 021621
Vail Town Code Section Noise Prohibited
February 16, 2021 - Page 18 of 62
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Town Manager’s Office (and Police, Community Development, Economic
Development, Town Clerk Offices)
Date: February 16, 2021
Subject: Review Vail Town Code Section about Noise (Prohibited) and Amplified Sound
(Section 5-1-7)
I. SUMMARY
Town Council requested a review of the town’s code to ensure it is offering the appropriate
guidelines with regard to noise standards and allowable decibel limits. Staff has reviewed
Section 5-1-7 of the Vail Municipal Code which address a number of components that set forth
guidelines for monitoring loud noise, setting forth definitions, sound measurement standards
and identifying allowable limits. Some code amendments will be presented addressing a newly
proposed time-period that would accommodate entertainment activation at reasonable decibel
levels during afternoon business hours (including Après Ski during winter and summer).
II. BACKGROUND
In light of the public health crisis and public health orders, outdoor entertainment activations
were popular this year, such as musicians playing on the expanded restaurant patios through
dinner service and based on feedback they were thoroughly enjoyed by guests and the
community. This example is in addition to the traditional musical activations of establishments
like the Vail Chophouse and the Red Lion. There were some occasions where music activations
resulted in noise complaints. An investigation was completed to verify compliance with Town
Code for each instance of a noise complaint made to the Town. Through this process, staff
identified misunderstandings or a lack of clarity with the code. Although the businesses who
received complaints were generally in compliance, staff is recommending making some
changes to the code to both simplify the regulations and to support the goals of the town.
There seems to be ongoing support for the music entertainment activation (in the right of ways
and on patios) as it benefits the surrounding businesses and enhances the Vail guest
experience.
III. BUSINESS POINTS
Objectives of proposed code amendment:
▪ Provide regulations that help balance the desire to create entertainment activations in the
villages while being respectful of the combination of commercial and residential
neighborhoods,
▪ Provide regulations that are easy to understand by those who enforce the code and by
those who must abide by the code,
February 16, 2021 - Page 19 of 62
Town of Vail Page 2
▪ Address the time and zone for use of amplified sound as a means of creating the needed
balance between residential and commercial neighborhoods. The Code addresses
“allowable decibel limits” as noted in the table below:
D. Allowable Limits: The following shall be the allowable noise limits for the time periods and
zones specified.
Zone Designation of Property
On which source of Noise Is
Located
Maximum Number of
Decibels Permitted from
7:00 A.M. To 11:00 P.M
Maximum Number of
Decibels Permitted From
11:00 P.M. To 7:00 A.M.
All Residential Zones excepting
HDMF
55 Decibels 50 Decibels
Commercial Plus HDMF 65 Decibels 60 Decibels
Industrial Service Zones 80 Decibels 75 Decibels
In addition to the allowable limits in the aforementioned table, the following definitions in the
Town Code create unnecessary confusion when evaluating sound levels or producing music:
• Noise of any duration which exceeds the allowable noise limit for the zone in which the
noise source is located by fifteen (15) decibels.
• A noise, one minute or more in duration out of any ten (10) minute period, which exceeds
the allowable noise limit for the zone in which the noise source is located by ten (10)
decibels.
• A noise of five (5) minutes in duration and a total of five (5) minutes out of any ten (10)
minute period, which exceeds the allowable noise limit for the zone in which the noise
source is located by three (3) decibels.
IV. CONSIDERATIONS
Several departments have been involved with developing the draft amendment to the town
code, including town clerk’s office, economic development, police, community development and
the Town Manager’s Office. A review of legislation from peer resort communities, including
Breckenridge, Aspen, and Park City, helped with comparing the decibel standards in similar
resort towns.
1. The group supports adding a new category on the table referenced above, as follows:
Zoning Designation on which source of
Noise is located
Maximum Number of
Decibel’s Permitted from 2:00
P.M. To 8:00 P.M.
Maximum Number of
Decibels Permitted All Other
Times
Lionshead Mixed Use 1, Public
Accommodation, Commercial Service
Center, Commercial Core 1, Ski
Base/Recreation 2,
80 decibels Refer to above table.
The recommendation to add a new category for allowable sound limits is proposed to support
the lively, festive atmosphere of a traditional Après Ski culture. The same vitality has been
mimicked in the summer as guests of the Town enjoy the beautiful outdoor dining and sunny
patios. The change from a maximum decibel level of 65 to 80 decibels would only be permitted
during the afternoon/evening period from 2:00pm until 8:00pm in our village core districts. The
February 16, 2021 - Page 20 of 62
Town of Vail Page 3
code would cap the permitted levels at 80 and remove the complexities of the time and level
that a sound could exceed the allowed decibels as stated above. This would create a cleaner,
more easily enforceable regulation for our Après oriented businesses. A maximum sound level
of 80 decibels is consistent with many other communities in a similar setting. A village
walkabout would be scheduled if there is interest in listening to certain decibel levels at certain
locations.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Town Council is asked to provide direction about the proposed language that would be
drafted into a code amendment to allow for new decibel levels during certain time periods in
certain zone districts to accommodate the entertainment (music) activation in the villages on an
ongoing basis.

3. 14th Annual Winterfest Ice Installation & Lantern Display Update

tomorrow. 110 total lanterns created by First – Fourth grade students of VMS. They will be just as
delightful to see during the daytime.

matter similar to the oversized pinecone installations.

be a working artist residency space given the history of the Summervail’s earliest days in Ford
Park.

come together. Such an event may have more exposure to garner funds for a documentary.

Teague Architects.

outside of your CSE role, If you act outside of your ordinance
you subject yourself to personal liability. You’re authorized
to vote in a public meeting, that’s about it.
2. Avoid conflicts of interest. If you have one, remove yourself
from vote. If you feel you have a conflict or question you
don’t feel comfortable bringing up in the meeting, you can
contact Matt directly.
3. Run a good meeting. No meetings before the meetings. No
emails to more than one other board member.

g. Budget Update
• Hasn't changed from what we’ve allocated. $625,516 for CRC and
$154,530 for E&E.
2. 9:20 a.m.: Event Update/requests (20 minutes)
a. Ren Events Updates Farmers Markets/Taste of Vail
• Farmers market. Starting father’s day through first week of October.
In regular communication with the health department. Still moving
ahead with precautions similar to last year.
• Lionshead market is not moving ahead this year. Too hard to grow
into a new location this year with all the restrictions. That allocation
will be returned to CSE budget.
• Taste of Vail – Aspen Food and wine moved their June event to
September. California has been very impacted by COVID which is
limiting California winery participation. Will host fall taste of vail
event in September and will look to add spring elements.
February 16, 2021 - Page 58 of 62
• Wadey: will September crush have an impact on participation?
Angela: All the wineries understand that this is going to be an
impact with events postponing. They are working on staffing plans
to accommodate.
• Wadey: are we concerned about overlap with Oktoberfest?
Rediker, yes. Wadey, can we move it to a mid week?
• Valenti: Assuming larger events may be looking to shift or change,
and we need to offer feedback to optimize calendars.
• Wadey: I am very sad to see the Lionshead farmers market not
happen. They have had a rough year. Can we put this out to
RFP?
1. Gross: We will work on developing a need statement and or
RFP.
b. Town of Vail Art Series
• Alpine Art Center is having difficulty securing locations for the
winter community art programs due to limited capacities. They are
looking for feedback on whether to host some classes virtually to be
able to offer some programming this winter season or wait until
warmer weather and host more events in the summer/fall.
• Conover: A bit concerned that we are pushing spring events into
late summer and fall and they will all fall in the same timeframe
• Gross: That is under consideration by staff from all event requests
but this one specifically doesn’t have any conflicts with other events
based on the type of event and its audience.
• Newbury-Rediker: Investigate spring timeframe for outdoor options.
• Lau: In favor of doing this in person, not virtually
• Gross: I’ll work with Lauren to find other locations for in person
spring/summer/fall events.
3. 9:40 a.m.: Event Recap (45 minutes)
a. Scavenger Hunt – Jen Mason
• Most groups are 2-4 people. Very COVID friendly event and family
friendly. Introducing so many people to unknown parts and history
of Vail. Great education about 10th mountain.
• Will work on a more kid friendly version with age appropriate
questions. Can sell advertising in the program for business
engagement. Can keep adding new facts for new versions. Hard
to promote in some calendars since it is a season long program.
• Running 4 ads per week in the vail daily. Distributed posters
throughout town and will refresh them prior to presidents. Rack
Cards throughout the valley.
February 16, 2021 - Page 59 of 62
• Rediker: The program is great for guests that arrive before check in
is available. Continue to reach out to the hotels as a reminder of
this.
• Mason: We had savings in the event budget and are going to
return $4,500 to the CSE from the allocation.
• Biszantz: Since this was 2020 funded, how can we roll dollars into
2021? Gross/Vlaar: We don’t roll any dollars over from year to year.
The savings would have to be appropriated by council.
• Conover: Can we request number of participants to the sign up so
we can get a hard count on participation? Mason: Yes, we will add
that in.
• Motion to release final funding.
• Valenti/Rediker/unanimous
b. Magic of Lights
• Learned a lot in the 45 day run. 4pm was great in early December
but the lights weren’t great until closer to 5:30 in late January.
• Feedback was that the walk should be longer. Access was an
issue. Want to extend the lighting all the way to the village.
Worked well as a holiday event. Attendance was much lower after
Jan 4. Looking to shift earlier next year. Adding more elements
next year will help the guest experience especially on the really
cold night.
• Energy efficiency could be a great talking point going forward. Can
the energy use be offset?
• Motion to release final funding.
• Valenti/Biszantz/unanimous
c. Vail Mountaineers Hockey Sportsmanship Tournament
• Hosted 39 teams. Had to turn away 11. Over 500 room nights
booked in vail. Had to cancel 1 weekend of the tournament. Public
health requirements restricted spectators and had new rules for
players.
• Overall a successful tournament that was very well received as
very little hockey was being played at this point.
• Motion to release final funding.
• Rediker/Valenti/unanimous
4. 10:25 a.m.: New Business (5 minutes)
• Doug: would like to propose a 360 events audit. I have worked with associates
at McKinsey on similar projects for other cities/municipalities. Build an
February 16, 2021 - Page 60 of 62
accounting of assets across town and the valley for events. Use as a tool for
marketing to new events and to be able to sell more sponsorship for events.
o Rediker: How involved do we want to get in how events find sponsor
dollars. In past, we’ve stayed out of that to put onus on event producer
o Vlaar: Vailassets.com was created and would need to be updated but it
was created to pull every possible venue and put in one place so that
information is in place for even producers
• CSE/Council joint meeting
o timing hasn’t been determined yet. Need to put together a memo to outline
purpose of meeting
o Topics for council joint meeting
Challenge with Revely holidays Powabunga snow days. What is
the goal for early season. What scale is appropriate.
Excess funds, can they roll over? Increase allocations the following
year if there are savings to spend the money more effectively.
Adjournment @ 10:30 a.m.
• Motion to Adjourn
• Rediker/Valenti/Unanimous
