Noise Ordinance Could Silence Two of Isla Vista's Biggest Events
- The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors is weighing an amplified music noise ordinance for Isla Vista ahead of spring break.
- The proposal targets events that charge admission or operate as night clubs to curb taxpayer costs.
- Officials say past events like Halloween and Deltopia have driven overtime and safety costs for first responders.
- The Isla Vista Community Services District opposes the ordinance, preferring a more organized, permitted approach.
- County officials say enforcement would coordinate Sheriff, Fire, and EMS responses for crowded events.
- If approved, the ordinance could be implemented in time for the next spring break.
- Public meetings drew a full crowd of students and residents discussing the plan.
- Sheriff, Fire, and EMS agencies would see increased coordination to prepare for crowds and respond to incidents.
- Local business owners worry about including music venues under the new rules.
