Councillor Brown Motion re: Noise Impacts from Car Wash Facilities

That Council direct Staff to prepare a report outlining options to mitigate noise impacts from car wash facilities on adjacent residential properties, specifically focusing on: 1. Immediate regulatory tools available through the Business Licence Bylaw, including the potential for restricting hours of operation or setting specific decibel limits for existing businesses; 2. Long-term preventative measures through amendments to the Zoning Bylaw, establishing minimum proximity setbacks between car wash dryers and residential zones; and 3. Best practices for noise-attenuation technology, such as mandatory sound shrouds or directional venting, that could be integrated into the city’s regulatory framework.
