This change affects businesses that offer music, live or otherwise, in outdoor areas.

businesses with outdoor areas that are within 350 feet of a residential property to apply for the new outdoor amplified sound permit.

The changes will also regulate amplified sound outdoors between 10 p.m. and midnight.- El Paso Herald-Post
