Sound
- Develop a sound mitigation strategy which should include:
- Speaker placement
- Installation of sound dampening materials
- Established appropriate sound levels with your staff
- Contain sound coming from your establishment.
- Be mindful of sound levels created on your patio.
- Ensure amplified music cannot be heard clearly past your property line.
- Have & understand your permit for amplified sound on an outdoor patio.
Client Management
- Be mindful that customers are respectful of their surroundings when lining-up outside your business.
- Nightclubs should have a crowd control plan and be staffed with well-trained courteous security guards.
- Keep the exterior of your establishment clean & clear of any litter or debris.
- Respect the air space. Don't allow customers to smoke or vape at the entrance
- Develop a cleanliness practice for your daily closing procedures.
- Help patrons move along after closing hours.
Communication
- Informed neighbours are more likely to be supportive & understanding
- Provide a written notice to neighbours well in advance of any special events explaining possible disturbances from your typical operations. i.e delivery hours, excessive garbage, access to parking etc.
- Establish lines of communication with your neighbours by providing contact information should they have questions, comments or concerns.
- Respond and address any concerns or questions quickly & directly.
- Document issues you’ve encountered with neighbourhoods & the resolutions.
Proactive Measures
- Work with your neighbourhood association, Business Improvement Area or community group.
