Summary
The City of Saint Paul is holding a public hearing on a request for a sound level variance related to the Great Lawn Concert Series at Allianz Field. The request, submitted by Zacharia Litzelswope, seeks permission to permit amplified sound at levels of 97 dBA at 50 feet from the source during events scheduled for specific Fridays from May to September 2026. This variance is necessary as it exceeds the noise limitations established in the St. Paul Noise Ordinance. Affected parties include nearby property owners and renters, who must be informed of the variance request. The Department of Safety and Inspections recommends measures to monitor sound levels and ensure compliance. The public can participate by submitting comments or attending the hearing on March 18, 202
