Dallas needs to fine-tune noise rules in Deep Ellum music district, report says

A list of recommendations from Deep Ellum’s council representative and residents say code compliance rules should allow for higher levels of noise.

should have a noise limit of 92 decibels that covers roughly Good Latimer Expressway to Walton Street, according to the report’s recommendations, and 72 decibels for the rest of the area east toward Main Street.

The report was created by a task force including council member Jesse Moreno, who represents the area, as well as several Deep Ellum residents and business owners. Dallas’ Code Compliance Services Director Carl Simpson and other city code and police representatives were part of the group. “Noise is a problem in any busy neighborhood, but it’s a complex matter in our live/play areas,” Trey Carmichael, a Deep Ellum resident who is part of the task force said in a statement. “The standard ordinance was simply too broad for all stakeholders to be treated fairly.”The report found that the entertainment district can reach up to 70 decibels on a weekday. Decibel levels can get to the 90s on weekend nights, particularly between 10 p.m. and midnight.
