As Tampa's downtown grows, so does the level of late-night noise. City council is taking up the issue in its Thursday meeting, which could mean changes for businesses and entertainment venues.

City leaders in Tampa have received plenty of complaints about loud music in the downtown area in recent months. Now, they may make some changes to address it.

During a meeting at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Tampa City Council will consider approving a noise ordinance that could quiet some clubs and bars.

It is billed as a project that will transform part of West Tampa. The $300-million Rome Yard development will be mixed-use and mixed-income, and the city wants neighbors to weigh in on the plans.
