Fredericksburg council turns noise ordinance into Good Neighbor Ordinance

Fredericksburg officials are hoping a name change will make people more receptive to tempering the noise level downtown. Officials have been considering a noise ordinance that would make it a Class 3 misdemeanor to be plainly audible from 200 feet away. Now, they will no longer call it a noise ordinance. Fredericksburg Economic Development Authority Director Bill Freehling said during a presentation to City Council this week that it’s been renamed the “Good Neighbor Ordinance” to reflect the “true intent” of the changes. The Good Neighbor Ordinance passed City Council with a 7–0 vote on first read, with a final decision expected May 11.

Fredericksburg council delays action on noise ordinance as businesses, bands protest

As the Stormin’ Norman Band stood on the steps of Billiken’s Smokehouse at the Chimneys Saturday afternoon, they urged passersby to make their voices heard to the Fredericksburg City Council. “Do not let council pull the vocal chords out of Fredericksburg,” bass guitarist Frankie Brennan shouted. City Council is considering a proposed noise ordinance that would make it a Class 3 misdemeanor for anyone to be “plainly audible” from 200 feet or more in the downtown area. Some local restaurant owners and musicians are concerned the ordinance would hinder their ability to offer live bands to draw in patrons. The Stormin’ Norman Band led a small protest outside of Billiken’s on Caroline Street Saturday. There was loud music played, the band members spoke about their concerns and later marched to Market Square, where they continued to sing, “We’re taking our freedom back now.”
