During a recent government meeting, community members voiced their opinions regarding the newly constructed amphitheater located near residential neighborhoods. Jan Carraza, a local resident and concert enthusiast, expressed excitement about the venue's proximity to her new home, highlighting the positive impact on property values and the overall concert experience. Carraza noted that despite her initial hopes of hearing music from her home, she remains supportive of the amphitheater, believing it will be a good investment for the area.

In contrast, another resident, Janine Sladez, raised concerns about the noise levels permitted by a hardship variance granted to the venue. Sladez criticized the variance, which allows sound levels up to 125 decibels, significantly exceeding the city’s standard limit of 50 decibels during nighttime hours. She likened the noise to having a jackhammer outside her window, arguing that the venue's operations disrupt the peace of established neighborhoods. Sladez urged city officials to reconsider the variance, calling for a reduction in noise levels to foster better relations between the venue and local residents.

The discussions reflect a growing tension between the excitement surrounding the amphitheater and the concerns of nearby residents regarding noise pollution and its impact on their quality of life. As the venue continues to host events, the city may need to address these conflicting perspectives to ensure community harmony.
